If I have this right. Most overvalued coin vs Silver content and actual face value. Let me know if I am wrong (I am hoping NOT to win as coming up with new challenges is hard.   PNG 10 Kina 1976 Proof coin, but still legal tender. Weight 41.6 grams of 92.5% silver = 38.48 grams Silver value = NZ$45.62 (23/10/20) Numista Face value PNGK 10 = NZ$4.22 $45.62 divided by $4.22 = 10.81 times. Loving Halfcrowns. British and Commonwealth coins 1750 - 1950 and anything Kiwi.
If it's round, shiny and silvery I will love it.

@pt it would be face value in the numerator.
4.22/45.62 = 0.0925

I don't have taken too many pics of much of my US collection unfortunately.  However, here is an impaired 1996 proof Dime that I picked up in change somewhere. By my calculations the melt value is $1.7745, which gives me a score of 0.056.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I am hoping NOT to win as coming up with new challenges is hard. Just a quick reminder that @pep offered up a list of potential new challenges several pages upthread: Quote:
Maybe it would help if we had list of ideas to be used for future challenges. Things like:
- oldest coin with lettering
- newest coin with no lettering
- oldest coin with airplane, car, locomotive, ship, etc.
- star with the most points
- coin with the largest central hole
- etc.
A moderator would have to collect these in one place, I suppose.

I'm guessing place were you found the coin? It's the distance between where the coin was last spent(or attempted) and where it was issued(the country not the mint) I will also accept coins found in rolls.
