Let me enter this Halfcrown slice. When you can't eat a whole halfcrown - slice it


Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!
Someone in the UK sent me this and you will all laugh.


Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!
Yes its been sawn into 3 pieces and I decided anyone who at least knows what british coins looks like would know what it is.

The third slice is my entry, you can see its Cupronickel and is 1947 by the date, and the George Portrait means it can't be 1957 or 1967 and not 1937 as that would be silver.

The coin slice weighs 3.37grams making up about 25% of the halfcrowns weight.

Even if its not accepted, it should get some laughs (I did not saw this coin up).

I think that fits the rules. It would be OK if you did saw it up-no rule against that. At least no contest rule. Aesthetic rule perhaps.

By the way, "puzzle coins" are a whole genre of exonumia, whereby coins are deliberately sawn up into mini-puzzle pieces. Something that size would have 10 or more pieces.

As the author of this particular challenge, I think that Princetane's entry is a bit unorthodox, but neat. Not quite what I was thinking of, but close enough. I believe they're currently the frontrunner.

OTOH - and I'd rather say it right now - I do not like the idea of anyone deliberately cutting up their coins just for this challenge.
Princetane didn't do that, and I'd have probably been fine with someone who did cut up their own coins for other reasons, but anything cut up only to participate here shouldn't count.

If you can find a piece that uniquely identifies the whole coin, sure. It's going to be tricky with a Morgan, though.

If you took the middle column or 4 from it you could get the date and the mintmark.
