By "film photo", I meant posting a photo taken with a real film camera (not a cell phone or scanner), using photographic film, preferably long ago. The goal was to show how people took their coin photos before digital cameras came along. Whoops my bad.  Congrats on the win jbuck  |

Here we go.  An Ike, but not what you might expect... 1990 Eisenhower Centennial Dollar  The Points: 7 points for your own 1990 Eisenhower Centennial Commemorative Dollar (proof or uncirculated) 6 points for any 1990 commemorative coin (any metal, any denomination, any country) +2 points for any 1990 non-commemorative coin from any country +2 points for any dollar or equivalent from any country +2 points for any silver coin from any country Morgan and Peace get you four points. A 1990 dated silver dollar-equivalent coin gets six. I think I got it right. If I overlooked something, be gentle when informing me.  |

I have one of those (actually two -- one proof and one uncirculated), but I don't want to win a round again so soon.
I'll wait for someone else to post an exact match, or perhaps find my most interesting partial match (after someone else posts a better match).

It looks like the most points I can get is with this Jamaican 1 cent piece from 1990, which commemorates F.A.O.:  |

I looking for a way to get an odd number of points (not 7). Let's try this:   It's a 50% silver crown, so +1 point for 50% silver, and +2 points for dollar equivalent (in size, not value) -- 3 points. |

Nice one, Mont!  I can get four points several ways, so I chose this:   In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024
