Although I am sure that nobody will believe me, I actually have a 1902 crown, but it is in a safety deposit box and I have no pictures!
I can give you the benefit of the doubt, but we need pictures.

That is the same issue I have, not every coin I have has a photograph.

There are no points for the benefit of the doubt. As it should be, of course.

I feel your pain, @jbuck.

Rather than sulk because I cannot get my 1902 crown easily, I will get close with this 1900 crown:

This is one of those where I have to tell myself, "No! I know it looks nice but you cannot go off on a British crown tangent!"

"Maybe just one?"

I came across this ugly duckling tonight. It's probably the only coin with a British monarch from another country I can get two points for:

1907 British-India 1/4 Anna:

So a very well used 1897 1/12 Anna would be 3 points?
Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

1 point for a British Monarch on obverse
1 point for the date
1 point for it being a fractional coin.

Did I do that right?

Almost! It's actually two points. If it was a fraction of a Rupee, then it would be three. For the one point "approximate" denomination, it should be multiple or fraction of the crown-sized denomination. I guess I could have made that a little clearer, sorry.

Going into the final stretch

5- oriole - current leader
5- Arkie
5- Coopertron5000
5- Finn235
4- pepactonius
4- MontCollector
4- mysilveryears
4- Joseph7420
3- spruett001
3- Dorado
2- jbuck

Unless someone comes in with an exact match, then oriole will be the winner at 11:00 pm forum time. Since there is no 1901 dated crown, oriole's 1900 crown, sent as a proxy for his 1902, is the closest possible 5-pointer
