I love COINS!!!

I apologize to jbuck if I wasn't actually allowed to let the first entry count if it was superseded by a new entry that turned out to be worse; by the wording of the new contest restrictions, it sounds like I probably wasn't, but I'm not sure if this interpretation was intended... For the record, I do not think we should penalize anyone for posting a second entry that ended up being "worse" than their first if it was an honest mistake, whether a misunderstanding of the parameters, a calculation error, etc. With rounds like these that require calculations, mistakes will be made and that is okay. In these cases, I believe it is best to defer to the round host since we all should agree that they know best what matches their requirements!

Clever jbuck.
I checked my US Type Set, but I don't have anything from 1874 or 1974,

Sounds like you need to build an Ike set then.  Fun fact, the Ike in my 7070 is also a 1974. A 1974-D to be precise.  |

Way out date wise, but this will scoop a few points. Yes! I know the challenge coin is a bit on the older side for this game, so I tried to make the scoring inclusive for newer coins as well. Quote:
1974-S 40% Silver Eisenhower Dollar Nice use of the '74 point Here are the standings with about a day left: 6 - triggersmob 5 - spruett001 5 - Wandering Circle 4 - Princetane - do you have a source for that coin being 32mm? Numista says 30mm and NGC says 30.2mm 3 - jbuck A couple notes - Copper nickel won't get you any points - If you use the Google maps distance function, or other software that can trace on the globe, you'd be surprised which of your favorite countries are a straight line over water from Brazil - Remember that you can post a second, higher scoring coin to replace your lower score.

It looks like triggersmob is the winner! I was really hoping to see some coins from New Zealand, Australia, or Russia  |

Yeah, I found this perfectly straight line to Australia, but it is past noon forum time.  I thought that the 20c would be big enough to get a point but it is under 3cm. |

Thanks Bd251.

so if anyone else wants to start the next challenge, please feel free.
