I, apparently, have 'highly keen numismatic skills'. Too bad I don't display them very often.

I thought this one was vague:
quote:
How many current U.S. Mint facilities produce coins for circulation and for coin collectors?

I know there are 4 mints but aren't Denver and Philadelphia the only two that do both (for circulation and for coin collectors)?

Thanks for the quiz GO!

I figured 3 mints, Philly, Denver, and San Fran. Is West Point the fourth? Do they make anything? I know I've got the 96 W dime, is there anything more recent?

BTW, got an 85. Alright I guess.

I got 90%, but I had to guess on a couple.

That was fun, though. Thanks for the link, Graceoutcast.

I got a 95% ... what's the prize!

The question missed ... I'm embarrassed to say it was what year the Jeff nickel appeared with a bison on the reverse. Thought it was a year later.

I got 90%. The 1982 Lincoln varieties question threw me, as I'd expect - I know little about them. However, I'm rather embarrassed to say that I somehow managed to remember West Point but forgot that Denver existed...

The one I missed:
quote:
9. What is a "store card"?
A: A civil war era merchant token.

Not into tokens, I don't count them, so, I will arbitrarily throw out this question and give myself a 19/19 - 100%!
