So that leaves me with one option, I guess...

Was this coin issued between 1850 and 1887?

Does this coin have the highest frequency percentage of its type (in this case 56%) on Numista?

Then I shall guess the 1850 5 cents depicting William III (Willem III) from the Netherlands. Fool-proof?

A well deserved win for OzCollection

For a few minutes I was worried someone was going to pinch your parking spot.

Terrific! For a moment I thought you would count my second guess as incorrect but I'm not entirely sure of the rules surrounding that. Thanks again MMM!

You only get one guess but two minutes to correct a typo or brain explosion by deleting the original guess and reposting.

However, If a guess doesn't uniquely identify a coin it is neither correct nor incorrect. You must add more info (in a new post) but in the meantime someone else still has the right to correctly guess the coin and "pinch it off you". I imagine it would be a bit tough to take but thems the rules

You recovered in time so well done.

(triggersmob doesn't seem to be the type to do that sort of thing but beware of those who are)

Ok Round 5 is underway.

Can OzCollection win 3 in a row.

This coin is unusual and maybe even weird. . .
