You are a novice collector with more than a passing interest in coin collecting. Your knowledge will increase as you enjoy this life time hobby of coin collecting

A CCF Testimonial ... If I had taken this test last year at this time I can honestly say that I would have scored a 45% rather than my score of 95%. I've learned a tremendous amount about the hobby in that short amount of time. Thank you all!

I got a 75

quote:
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?


Some of the Silver Eagles are minted at West Point. Gold and Platinum too?

I got an 85. Not bad, but definitely room for improvement.

I got a 75%. GO should have his coin card revoked and all coins should be sent to be pronto!

QUOTE: "75 points is in the 61 through 80 points" - 75% is not too bad for an Australian coin collector!

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

Dude, there's 8. Was, rather.
P- Philadelphia, PA
C- Charlotte, NC (OBSOLETE), (GOLD)
D- Dahlonega, GA (OBSOLETE), (GOLD)
O- New Orleans, LA (OBSOLETE)
S- San Francisco, CA
CC- Carson City, NV (OBSOLETE)
D- Denver, CO
W- West Point, NY

But I didn't know that W and S still made circulation strikes.

I got a 70% my first try, but after that 100% was no problem.

I've only been a serious collector for a little over a year, so I was pretty happy with 70%. Fun quiz, thanks for sharing.
