0/22!  I didn't get many 19-century British coins growing up in Texas, but I thought I could get 1 or 2. I was so lost in trying to figure out what the names could be, I missed the fact that 3 clues were in the instructions. It's been a long time since I had to take a test. Looks like it'll be a long time before I try again!  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

I got 19/22. I missed "dollar" (ironic?) and I didn't realize that 7s is one-third of a guinea because denominations based on threes are weird.
Eighteenpence was just a guess.
But I know groats - a major road and bridge in my city are called "Groat"...

I think I got 18 (well actually should've been one more but I tried several spellings of "third guinea" and none of them were accepted for some reason).
I didn't think of the 1804 dollars, and I would never have guessed "eighteenpence" (I tried "one and sixpence" and several other similar spellings). And "ninepence" was essentially just a guess.

21/22 here also. Missed the "eighteenpence".
