Good old treasure hunt

Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!
Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!
1888 Halfcrown - EF condition

Most points win

+1 Point silver coin of 80% or finer coin

+10 points for the coin dated in 1888
-1 point for each year out
so 1888 = 10 points
1889/87 = 9 points
1890/86 = 8 points
1897/79 = 1 point etc
Any coin before 1879 and after 1897 is still eligible but won't get points in this regard.

+10 points if coin is between 30 - 33mm
+5 if between 25 - 29.9mm and 33.1 - 37.9mm
0 if outside this size

+1 point per crown

+10 points if there is a woman on one side

+5 points if its got any Latin on it

+10 points if your coin is EF (I expect all entrants to have a moderate undestanding of grading and this is BRITISH EF or AMERICAN AU 53 - 58)

+5 points if coin is AU or VF (Thats American MS60 or XF40 - 53)

+0 points if its any other condition

+5 points if a belt on it

+5 points if there are any lions (5 points max 1 lion = 5 pts, 50 lions = 5pts)

+5 points for any other mammal

+1 point for any animal.

Exclusions

No British Halfcrowns
No coins minted before 1838 or after 1938
Half points for coins from the USA so other countries can get a chance to shine.
NO FANTASY or MICROSTATE issues.
No forgeries or replica coins

Have fun
