I know how you feel I spent about four hours yesterday going through books and looking at coin pictures on the internet The Swiss Franc I knew I had seen just could not remember it, that was driving me mad LoL and the tribal pictograph face I think I know I just can't find the coin, but there was one I had seen a few months back that had the same kind of design elements to it, I'm going to keep trying but I fear i'm stumped, it's just that I feel I should know this, you ever have that feeling where it's just at the back of your mind but you just can't recall it, thats what I have going on.

I have been flipping through my Krause every night, a whole week long, and none of the 3 missing ones came up.
The mask made me think of the Mexican pieces with the old art on them.
Number one almost looks like a Belgian coin: 10 Centimes 1832-1856 - Copper, but it isn't that one.
Pfff, this is hard.
Any hints??

I love these contests, but I don't stand a chance. I use them as an educational tool, where I see what you guys guess, and then go study the coin. Doesn't help me for future contests, unless akdrv recycles the old pictures. This is way too hard for me, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
