Nice one, Dearborn! Riau Archipelago is new to me.

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?
Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507

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.. Angola 20 Centavos Argentina 1 Peso Austria 2 Groschen Belgium 5 Franks British Honduras 50 Cents Bulgaria 10 Stotinki Cameroun 25 Franks Canada 1 Cent CCCP (USSR) 1 Kopeck China 2 Fen Colombia 10 Centavos Czechoslovakia 1 Koruna Danmark 10 Ore East Germany (GDR) 1 Mark Eastern British Caribbean 1 Cent Ecuador 20 Centavos Egypt 2 Milliemes Fiji 1 Shilling France 50 Centimes Greece 2 Drachmai Iceland 2 Kronur India 1 Rupee Ireland 2 Floirin Isreal 1 Agora Italy 100 Lire Jamaica 1 penny Japan 10 Yen Jordan 5 Dinar Kuwait 5 Fils Luxembourg 1 Franc Malaya British Boreno 1 cent Mexico 1 Peso Monaco 20 Centimes Muscat & Oman 5 Baisa New Zealand 1-half Penny Nigeria 1 Shilling Norway 1 Krone Pakistan 1 Paisa Panama 5 Centesimos Philippines 10 Centavos Reunion 50 Francs Rhodesia & Nyasaland 1 Penny Riau Archipelago Indonesia 10 Sen Sao Tome & Principe 50 Centavos South Africa 1 Cent Sudan 5 Milliemes Surinam 1 Guilden Switzerland 5 Rappen Syria 2½ Piastres Taiwan 5 New Dollars Thailand 1 Baht Turkiye 1 Lira United Kingdom 1 Penny United States 50 Cents Vatican City 100 Lire West Germany (FRG) 1 Mark

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.
