Hi Everyone!

Thanks for making this such a wonderful place to hang out! To show my appreciation to all of you I want to do another giveaway!

This time I'll broaden the scope a bit; we're going...

WORLD-WIDE!

Here are the rules:

I am thinking of a coin.
You need to guess the Country, Year, Denomination, and Mint Mark (if applicable).
TWO guesses per day.
Must have 50 posts to play.
I'll pitch you the occasional hint.
The winner gets: 1 Oz of World Silver Bullion ( I'll let you choose from a handful of different ones.)

Here are some hints to get you started:

It was minted between 1900 and Today.

It is composed of a Silver alloy.

It is between 18-20mm in diameter


GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for the contest.

I wanted to start guessing yesterday but I misplaced my world coins book....sheesh! Found it a little while ago. Now I'm watching the Blackhawks....but I'm searching for an appropriate guess during commercials.

This is making me realize how very little I know about world coins.
