Yeah, my computer has been acting up. When I posted it, I couldn't actually see the first picture, so I was going by memory. After I posted it, I tried to edit it but my computer froze.

Thats me out, haven't really got to sixpences yet. The closest I can do with any of those specs is   1891 - 9 years later .925 silver (Tick) Minted in Europe (Tick) Halfcrown (miss but worth 5 sixpences) Victoria (tick) Anyway its an excuse to show another stunner and prove to the world I collect more than worn $2 coins of Australia from 2015 or whatever  Edited by Princetane

My only .925 silver sixpence from the 1800s: 1817 UK sixpence:   Other possibilities are an 1886 threepence (0.5 x target coin) and an 1887 shilling (2 x target coin) |

Did everyone like that format? I thought it was a fun variation of the game. I could probably come up with a decent round using the mystery coin format. Alternatively, I thought maybe we could start a trend where the winner uses their winning coin for the challenge coin of the next round  I'll try to get a new challenge posted tomorrow morning.

Well I couldn't really think of a good mystery coin challenge, so I'll use this monster I got recently.  Post your heaviest and lightest coin (this is probably a repeat, sorry) Rules: - Both coins must be circulating coins - Your base score is determined by how heavy your larger coin is relative to your small coin. That is the weight of large coin divided by weight of small coin. Round to the nearest tenth. Bonus points: +5 the main composition of the coins is different (ex. Copper and silver) OR +2 the coins are different alloys of the same metal (ex. 0.9 and 0.8 silver or copper and bronze) +5 If the coins are from different countries +2 If both the coins are in the same image Note: If your coin coin is known to have weight variances, please use actual weights is possible. Scoring the provided example: Russian 5 kopeks, 64.3g, copper Kingdom of Travencore 1 Chuckram, 0.38g, silver 64.3g/0.38g = 169.2 +5 different composition +5 different countries +2 same image Total 181.2 |

Some days ago, Princetane suggested doing a one-dimensional date challenge, but using 1829 rather than 1500.
One other challenge I had been thinking of was the earliest and latest coin you have in your collection from a single Numista issuer.
Anybody have a preference?
