thanks Jbuck and Hondo - It was to me too (had to look it up in Numista and on Google Maps)- I was just browsing ebay and saw it up for auction to be concluded within 20 minutes - so I snagged it.

Hey Dearborn, I was photographing my 1945 Half Rupee the other day and noticed the strange edge. Said to myself, "Self, we've seen something just like this recently on the Forum, but what was it?". Then just now scrolling back to check your list, I came across your 1962 Nigeria Shilling and said Aha!

What about Peru and East Africa, Dearborn? If you don't have one, don't look for it (except in the mail).

@dearborn, do you want every coin from every country for that year, or just one coin per country?

You ought to get the complete 1962 set from Canada. The reverses are very Canadian!

Don't have them yet Hondo, but always looking for more.

@Oriore, my goal is to have just one coin from every country that had a coin that was mine in 1962.

Hey Dearborn. I'm just rediscovering this thread. Is there someplace we can go to see what countries you may have and what is missing?

John,

I went through my foreign collection and I don't have 1 coin from 1962, I have 1961 and 1963 though. I would have sent you any I had. If you want a 61 or 63 let me know, they are yours.

Well thanks for the offer Helder, I have considering getting a coin from either side of my birth date If I'm unable to get the exact date, but for now, I'm just getting 1962 dated coin to see how far I can get.
So far I have 56 coins from 56 different countries.

I have 56 countries so far - here is an alphabetical listing of them.
As far as what I'm missing - hard to say as countries have been created after this date, and some have disappeared just before it. What I do is open Google maps randomly look at a spot and see what countries are in view and see if they minted or had coins minted for them for that year..
I'm probably missing a ton. But it is fun looking around..

Argentina 1 Peso
Austria 2 Groschen
Belgium 5 Franks
British Honduras 50 Cents
Bulgaria 10 Stotinki

Ecuador 20 Centavos
Egypt 2 Milliemes

The next thing that I started way back in ancient times (the 1980's)that I want to finish, is a single coin from the United Kingdom of every reigning King or Queen. I have quite a fed of them too and need to image and catalog them at some point.
