Ditto. We should let her win just so she has to stay GM.

That is not a typo. Who's lap you laying this in......

My guess, due to unforeseen circumstances, is a 1897 1 Franc COLONIE DE LA MARTINIQUE.

And here I was thinking a country that Germany invaded in WW2, so in Europe; I was not even thinking Martinique of the Caribbean...

So Loonie can't be right then, then it's nice to knock those years out...

Nope.

Don't worry loonie, you had zero chance of being correct with that guess.

That leaves mrwhatisit to dig you out of of this hole that the rest of you will probably blame him for digging.

Ok, it is looking more like a Russian 2 kopeks dated either 1895 or 1896; its flag definitely changed from the 1917 revolution onwards...

Is this coin a Russian 2 kopeks dated 1895 or 1896?

If that doesn't clinch it, then my thoughts turn to a Finland 1896 5 pennia...

If not any of these, then I get lost...

Hi DrPeper23, you just jumped into a fascinating whirlwind of guessing...

That can't be the coin based on all the Yes/No answers given, and if you were to guess, you would have to say: I guess or My guess is, and don't forget the date...

Feel very free to join us; we like new players, we do have good fun here as I have learned

No

DrPeper23

If you want to guess you need to say "I guess ..." Or "My guess is..." and you need to specify a year (or date range if the coin doesn't have a date on it)
