Official revaluation, probably during a coin shortage. The coins are patinated differently, meaning they were buried separately, but they match up precisely.

Thanks, guys. That actually seemed like too easy a win. I'll have a new challenge up a bit later on today. Planning for something a bit more traditional. Keep chewing that popcorn. I used to love the stuff but my dental bills are now way more than my coin budget.  |

Alrighty, here is the next challenge:   1821 St. Helena halfpenny; bronze; 29mm. St. Helena is a dot island in the Pacific ocean west of Africa. It changed hands several times between the Dutch and British,eventually becoming part of the British East India Company. It was known as a place of exile for deposed rulers, including Napoleon. Coinage from this place is scarce. So the challenge will include: Exact match = 10 points. Any other 19th. century St. Helena coin = 8 points. Any other 'dot island' coin from the 19th. century = 5 points. Note, this will dis-include coins from large island nations like New Zealand and Hawaii. Any coin of any vintage with two prominent lions in motif = 2 points. Participation awards: 1 point for any 19th. century small-island coin; 1 point for any bronze 19th. century coin dated 1821. Have fun with this one  |

I happen to have an exact match, but it's too early to win another round. I'll have to post something more interesting, after someone posts an exact match (these 1821 coins from St Helena are pretty common).
