Post a One Hundred Year Old Coin! My example: 1923-S Monroe Doctrine Half Dollar  Exact match is an instant winner.  Points: 10 points for any 1923 dated coin. Bonus Points (all dates are eligible): +1 point for any half dollar (50 cents) or non-US equivalent. +1 point for any silver coin (51% or higher). +1 point for any commemorative coin. +1 point for any 30~31 mm coin. So posting any other US classic commemorative half dollar gets you 4 points. This will run until at least Monday morning, unless there is an instant winner, who can immediately host the next round.

1923-S Walking Liberty half. 13 points. (pulled out my rolls of junk silver and stopped at the first '23 I found) 
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

The coin I am posting is the George Washington half in the bottom of the picture. I just don't feel like having to go take more pictures and crop them, etc. 3 or 4 points

1923 is a good year for my collection. But no half dollars, and nothing of this specific size either... Unfortunately my RSFSR coins are only 0.500 silver (AFAIK), so San Francisco it is.  1923-S Peace dollar.

Fun extras, but nothing with more than the 11 points you already have.

I am still around, and have plenty of 23 dated coins, but was going to let someone else win this time, but I just came up with a few other ideas.  Jbuck, me liked your idea at least! I also would like to see what Hondo Boguss (such a cool username  ) is thinking of?
