For some coins the exact day of issue is known...

I like the look of that bonito so I shall guess at 1972 Cook Islands 50c non-proof

Well, I suppose that "should" only leave 2, so I'll guess a 1972 New Zealand 50c proof.

I believe Q20 implies the year before the event, so 1971 to me is still in play...

What's up with the serif varieties for NZ '71?

I was wondering if they got mixed in with the circulation run. Dies or coins. So I'm going with a no there. 1 123 000 mintage has serifs.

I'll guess the 1971 New Zeeland 50 cent piece with serifs on date.

keith is hiding....hoping I win.....might be time to play that IOU.......

I guess Loonie will have to wait to play that IOU till another time as that is not my coin

Maybe Keith or another can take a guess
