I wouldn't have bet on 82 being the last to be guessed, though!

Indeed, but coin quality control in India is non-existing, I think. Many coins are struck that bad they didn't resemble your good picture.

I just saw this thread. Very fun. I could only guess the 19 was a German coin.. I am surprised how difficult this was! I have a bunch of world coin photos. I would be willing to put something similar together if everyone wants more practice (ideas?).. Great idea DL20K!

Go ahead, I'd say. A different perspective (dates from different coins) or take on the idea (different aspect, not dates but other common devices or details) would certainly be interesting to see.

Dates for sure since that would include more coins. do you think coats of arms or eagles would be challenging enough?

Coats of arms are perhaps not the best choice, as Krause world catalogs have their picture lists. So, anyone with a Krause catalog would get all/most.
On the other hand, since you mentioned eagles - let's take eagles' heads, for example. They may not be that instantly identifiable, especially since styles varied within a single country.

Eagles' heads is an awesome idea!

There are many other possibilites for similar threads:
- dates (crop the dates so that only the first two digits are visible. So, if you took coins from the 20th century only, you'd have a set of 100 images all reading "19")
- dates (exactly like this one but from the 19th century. Which would include German states)
- face values (all different or all the same), etc.
Practically anything large enough to be recognizable but small enough so that Google doesn't recognize it.
The aforementioned eagles' heads are different from all these is one way - that they are not digits or lettering. I wonder how that would affect the difficulty.

Cool! Now this was an interesting thread to follow. :)
Can you please post the picture once again followed by the list of 100 identified coins? It would be cool to have the total overview!
Thanks!

I second UltraRant's comments - I just joined, but this looks like it was a lot of fun. I'd be interested to try round 2 with eagle heads or whatever you come up with!
