Dorado Bedrock of the Community Canada 24885 Posts	Posted 03/13/2018 8:27 pm @ Finn235 Quote: @Dorado, I have honestly no clue what is in your slab, but it's neither Hepthalite nor Mewar as the slab claims. Centsles (NNC) is infamous for stuffing random coins into his slabs to increase sales. Maybe if you crack it out someone could ID it, or I am sure that one of your very nice world coins would get a decent number of points!

pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 03/13/2018 11:39 pm England, 1 groat, 1361-1369 (Edward III) Points: - 3 -- Edward III (unless he is famous) - 1 -- date range 1361-1369 - 1 -- Latin inscription (CIVITAS LONDON) Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 2:15 pm I think it's time to call it! Totals: Arkie - 8 January1May - 10 bd251 - 4 Canadian coins - 5 Dorado - 3 MontCollector - 7 Joseph 420 - 6 Crazyb0 - 5 Pepactonius - 5 (Assuming the Brits learn about Edward III in basic education? I couldn't tell you anything about him) @Crazy - Now where have I seen that before? I gave it 5: 2 for personage (al-Malik isn't one of the more famous caliphs, I think - he was just heavily involved in monetary reform) + 2 for uncertain decade + 1 for country no longer existing. The language is regular Arabic, and the Muslim culture has survived unscathed, despite the political turmoil. As far as I can tell, the "lollipop" on the reverse is just imaginary... designed to tick off the Byzantines by removing Jesus from the new Arab coin designs. @Dorado, I see it now; the reverse looked a lot different in your first pic! Anywho, congrats to our winner, January1May! The ball is now in his court! Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 10:11 pm How about a challenge to match a random coin from your collection? A lot of us have a wide variety of types, but I bet that an exact match would be tough for most of us to find! Either Russian or one of your OFEC coins I think would be fun! Also, I was hoping to see an entry from you last round, Spence! Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 03/15/2018 11:01 pm I started wondering how am I supposed to choose a random coin in my collection. I idly opened the Numista main page. It had a slideshow of random coin types. Most of the time, the coins shown are either very common types or something that I don't have yet. (Often they're both.) This time, the very first coin I saw was one I knew I had. More importantly, I knew where it was, which is actually pretty rare for my collection. Usually I just look all over the place for a while. (It was also the very first coin I ended up taking out of that box when searching, which I decided was yet another sign that I should use it.) Russia, 10 rubles, 2013-MMD, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Russian constitution. Numista 53089. No idea if it's in Krause yet. Points: - 1 point for a commemorative coin - 1 point for a coin about a constitution (of any country or other entity; probably will be commemorative) - 1 point for a coin about a 20th anniversary (of any event; probably will be commemorative) - 1 point for a Russian coin (any Russian predecessors or subdivisions count) - 1 point for a coin denominated 10 (of any monetary unit) - 0.5 points for a coin denominated in rubles (of any country, not necessarily Russia) - 0.5 points for a coin from Moscow mint (for any country, not necessarily Russia) - 0.5 points for a coin from 2008-2018 - 0.5 points for a coin from 2013 (in addition to the above) All of the above stack, so the maximum is 7 for an exact match. ...I suspect that any collector of Russian 10 ruble commemoratives will probably have either an exact match, or at least another high-scoring entry. Of course, it's not like CCF has particularly many collectors of Russian 10 ruble commemoratives... Report this Post to the Staff
