To celebrate my 1200th post, I would like to run a contest, which is really just a guessing game. I have 8 decimal coins from Great Britain, the years for these coins are 3 x 1971, 1 x 1980, 1 x 1982, 1 x 1984, 1 x 1990 and 1 x 1992. All you have to do is tell me which denomination is what year.  Clue #1 - Look closely at the picture for a clue to the year of one coin. Clue #2 - These are all repeats of coins I have in my gallery. Winner is the first person to post the correct combination in this thread. The prize is the 8 coins pictured, plus a few Aussie coins thrown in for good measures. The correct combination will be e-mailed to Bobby and Susan. Let the guessing begin, have fun. Steve  Edited by triggersmob

Thanks, Steve. Took a little sleuthing, to get the first three (not counting the 20p). The last four were educated guesses though. Looking forward to the additions to my Aussie collection.  Email on it's way. Edited by Topher

Steve,
The coins arrived today. Nice to see a few Aussie coins I didn't have, including the $1 APEC. Thanks again for the contest!
