 I posted mine as quick as possible hoping to be the first of many 5-point entries. I did look at the few other RPMs I have and none had any other errors; not a single die chip and most are from the '50s! Give me a bit to come up with something. I had a couple ideas yesterday, but I've forgotten both of them.

Post a Nickel! Okay, I decided to keep it simple and open to many possibilities. The goal is to get points, and hopefully more points than what I posted! You may post any coin from any country that is five cents. So, this excludes pence, sorry, but would include euro cents. Posting your finest five cent piece is expected. How you get points:2 points: U.S. coin 1 point: non-U.S. coin 3 points: 1942 dated coin 2 points: pre-1942 dated coin 1 point: post-1942 dated coin 1 point: coin contains silver 1 point: proof coin (please clarify that in your post) Points for Graded Coins:1 point: 66 (MS or PF) Above 66: 1 additional point per grade (e.g. 67 would add a total of 2 points, 68 gets 3 points, 69 4 points...) What I posted would be 8 points. The maximum is 12 points if anyone happens to have a 1942-P Silver Jefferson nickel in PF-70. I'll figure out the points. Get as close (or better) as you can and let's see what happens!

Centesimos = Cents Yes, that is 4 points!  I apologize to those wanting to post pence. Centesimos, centesimi, centimes, centavos, etc. are acceptable for containing "cent" and being 1/100th. The penny has relatively recently become 1/100th of a pound, but is not a cent or of the Latin origin. It is Germanic.

I looked through my nickels last night because I thought I had a 1942 silver but I guess not. Only 43 and 44 I'll submit a Half Dime for 5 points instead.
