triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9700 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 7:14 pm Thank you Bd251, I'll see what I can come up with for the next round. Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9700 Posts	Posted 02/16/2024 7:44 pm Ok, let's see how this goes. You will score points for the letters I, V, & X shown on your coin. If the letters are use in a king's or queen's title then they score their Roman numeral value. I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 Any other use on the coin will be 1 point per letter. Both sides of the coin and edge will be allowed. Even if we can't read the letters on your coin, if you provide a link to Numista or elsewhere that shows the writing clearly, then the points will count. Example 1, this scores 9 Example 2, this scores 11. Now some bonus points. Metal 4 points for gold 3 points for silver 2 points for copper or bronze 1 point for any other metal Size 4 points for coins 40 - 49.99mm 3 points for coins 30 - 39.99mm 2 points for coins 20 - 29.99mm 1 point for coins 10 - 19.99mm Denomination Add up the total of the digits in the denomination for bonus points. I.e. 10 = 1, 15 = 6, 20 = 2, 25 = 7 etc. If the denomination is written like "twelve" or XII, no points, but you would have already scored points for the X, V & I. OK, lets see what you have.

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5245 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 11:47 am Sweden Mint Set, 1973. King Gustav VI Adolph. Using the 5 Kronor coin, points: 6 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 14. Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9700 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 6:51 pm NumisEd, I think you short changed yourself. You missed the letters from the bottom of the reverse, so 4 extra points for a total of 18. Also you missed the L in the engravers name. So 19 in total.

bd251 Pillar of the Community United States 1871 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 01:54 am I think that's 11 + 3 + 2 + 7 = 23 Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9700 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 05:59 am Nice Bd251. I only see 21 points though. What's your breakdown of the points? Report this Post to the Staff

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9700 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 4:22 pm Sorry Bd251, I goofed and I think you have more. The X is in the King's title, so count that at 10. So 36 points I think. Come on Jbuck. There is at least 1 points in Eisenhower. and 5 points here... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6178.html Edited by triggersmob 02/18/2024 4:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9700 Posts	Posted 02/18/2024 4:29 pm Hondo, I think yours is 31. X on obverse is all part of the King's title. 3 points for silver and 1 for size. Report this Post to the Staff
