Great work, 15 points and love that hair! Even better 1765 is quite late for such crazy hair. by that era the Peruke (George Washington/Captain Cook) style wig was in fashion. This dude's hair screams more 50 years earlier than 1765!

Post your coin with a ship. Oldest wins. Ship must be part of the design, but not part of a family or national coat of arms.

Okay, no family or shields makes it hard   1799 Great Britain halfpenny - there is a ship at far left on the horizon, a fully rigged sailing ship.

I wanted to enter but was almost certain I'd win and didn't feel like thinking up a new challenge at the moment.

Oh okay, was not expecting to win. Really thought someone would pull out a Roman coin with a Bireme on it or something. I am scraping bottom of the barrel for ideas now.    A 50 ore coin of Denmark, 1996 Your goal - post coins with hearts on them. Points in this order. Age of coin +1 point for each year Number of hearts = x the number of years by hearts = raw score in points, highest score wins. Example, 1996 = 25 points x 1 heart = 25 points A coin from 1880 with 12 hearts would be 131 x 12 = 1572 points etc Must clearly be a heart (Hint Danish coins use a lot of them as the Copenhagen mint had a heart as a mintmark). Mintmarks of hearts are fine too, ask me if you are unsure about the "heartiness" of your piece. Have fun.
