Identify countries and denominations of coins in the image above. If the same element is shared on multiple denominations I will accept any denomination.

You can post again after I post which coins were identified.

The prize is an uncirculated 1945 Mercury dime.

Ok, random guess time I don't have to guess the years right?

1. Russia 50 kopeks, 1925
2. France 20 Franc
3. Belgium 25 cents
4. Brazil, 25 centavos, 2005
5. No idea, probably Mexico
6. Australia, 5 cents
7. Austria, 1 florin
8. Japan, 50 sen
9 Germany, 20 marks (I was thinking Prussia)
10. No idea, probably Peru 10 sol
11. Russia, 1 ruble, 1924

Wow, pretty good and quick answers! (I only got 6 of them)

Still more than I knew. By the way, if member A has nine right guesses, and then comes B and guesses the remaining one right, who would be the winner, A or B? You don't want to break a prize into pieces, and certainly not when it's a coin, hehe.

Christian

Very true, but I guess it boils down to who can guess the last most difficult one.

The next contest is going to be much more difficult.

dan8402 wins!!!

Congratulations. Please PM me your address.

How on earth did you figure that out?

Maybe next contest you can show a coin extremely zoomed out (say from google earth perspective) and then slowly zoom in till someone guesses the coin?

I'll start...


OK! I am holding the coin in my hand in this pic.. NAME THAT COIN!
(hehh hehhe heheh)

SAC 2001D a slight rim ding at 2 oclock otherwise a GEM BU coin.

Sorry, you forgot to mention the 30 degree rotated reverse. Game over, you lose.

#5 or all of them? For number 5, it looked like a cow/bull skull, so I searched for cow/bull skull coin on google. After about 30 minutes something came up and it was what I was looking for. The Mexico guesses threw me off too.

Geez, maybe I should have shut up Nice competition though. Thanks akdrv

*Now only if we had more of this in the general forum*

This was a nice competition. I can't believe how little I knew from the list.

One way to make it more *interesting* and help avoid that scenario is to report the number correct in the guess, but not *which* ones are correct (assuming the guess is for more than one coin).

When I tried one of these a while ago, I was amzed by the number of people who said it was impossible and equally amazed by the number of people making correct identifications!

Excellent idea, syzygy. Thanks!
