Great entries so far! I'm a big fan of the Gothic florin design.

I think I got a good one here

1874-H Canadian quarter, 92.5% silver, and everything else added up, I get 14 points... Just two years off 1872

You were holding out on us, Dorado. I guess that technically makes you the winner, even though the round isn't over quite yet. If anyone else wants participation points, feel free to post until about noon tomorrow.

Canada, 25 cents, 1883-H (the 3 is just visible, and with the H mintmark this means it can't be anything except 1883). I think there's some tooling on the obverse.

I count 14 points, but I really didn't want to win with such an ugly coin, so I didn't post it until I could be sure I wouldn't win!
