Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 06/14/2016 6:40 pm 30 looks like it would be from Danzig. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 06/14/2016 7:40 pm I believe the 1911 is a German 25 pfennig piece. Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 02:19 am january1may: 67 is not India. Again, there is India among them but not that one. 86 is indeed Czechoslovakia (10 h). They had a rather distinct style. 09 is not a Wheat penny, as there are no US coins here. What's more, it has already been guessed to be a silver coin from Belgium. I must say that myself, I would find that one difficult. 02 is not French. 51 is indeed from the British Empire, though that's not specific enough to mark it off as correct. And before anyone asks, yes, I am marking off those that have been identified. After some more guesses, I'll list those that are left to limit duplicate guesses. CoinCollector2012, unfortunately not, 32 is not from Switzerland. oriole, absolutely, 52 is the Austrian aluminum 5 schilling. Joseph7420, 30 is indeed from Danzig. Numisma, that's correct, 11 is the German 25 pfennig (1909-12). Edited by DL20K 06/15/2016 02:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 08:41 am 32 - Latvia, 5 Lati (today's Latvian €1 and €2 coins use that coin's obverse) 55 - Norway 1-2-5 Øre 67 - Ireland aswell? 21 - Switzerland (½ Franc?) 49 - Poland, 1 Zloty? 63 - Poland, 1 Zloty again? 24 - Lativa, 1 or 2 Lats Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 08:50 am X2an, 24 - correct, Latvian silver 2 lati. 32 - correct, Latvian silver 5 lati. 49 - correct, Poland aluminum 1 zloty 55 - correct, Norway. However, 21, 63, and 67 were not correct. Congratulations - you have (collectively) reached the first milestone: over 25% coins have been identified. I mentioned that it is not an official contest but this quiz is not without any meaning. The better the result, the larger a prize will be available in the next one. The first lot has just been ordered. The next goal is 50%! Report this Post to the Staff
CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 09:40 am Has 34 been guessed already? I think it's from Germany. Also, 85 is from France. Edited by CalzoneManiac 06/15/2016 09:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 10:15 am Indeed, 85 is a French 10 francs. However, 34 is not German, although it's close to Germany. Edited by DL20K 06/15/2016 10:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 11:00 am oriole, 56 and 34 are both correct. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 1:49 pm If these haven't been picked yet: 38 is Yugoslavia, 50 para, 1 or 2 Dinara 48 is Pakistan, 1/4 or 1/2 Rupee 50 is Monaco, 10 or 20 francs perhaps Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 2:01 pm Inching forward, 33 correctly identified by now. 38 is indeed Yugoslavia (2 dinara), 48 Pakistan (1/4 rupee), but 50 isn't from Monaco. Hint: 50 is a European two-year type. The other year is very expensive, just found a closed auction with a price of over 10,000 Euro. It was replaced by an aluminum coin before the end of the decade.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 2:07 pm 85 is france 10 francs. I am starting to run out of ideas... Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 2:30 pm Yes but 85 has already been identified. The easiest one right now should be the successor of that particular coin which is also among the 100. Also, 51 has been partially identified as British Empire, just needs narrowing down. There are still coins from major countries to be guessed, including Germany, France, and Russia. In any case, this was not intended as a task for one person. But where is everyone? Perhaps they're watching the European Football Championships... Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 2:50 pm Could 91 be the successor of 85? The bimetallic French 10 francs. And I guess 18 is French too 01 could be Great-Britain (penny) Edited by bart 06/15/2016 3:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
