Hibler and Charles V. Kappen cataloged what medals in a 1963 book? #5. What mint marks have been used on 40 percent silver coinage of the United States? #6. Where is home for Krause Publications? EXPERT: #1. Who designed the Albany, NY Charter commemorative half dollar? #2. The trisceles is used as the arms on the coins of what countries? #3. Who appears on the 1890 $1 Treasury note? #4. How many U.S. Assay Commission medals depict George Washington? #5. To what cabinet officer did the U.S. Mint report in 1794? #6.

Of what allow were cents from 1944-1946 composed? I wasn't considering myself a novice, but aparently I'm right about that but in a different way... I'm not even a novice yet N1 is the only one I can answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 (N2) What portrait appears on all coins of Andorra?(...) (E2) The trisceles is used as the arms on the coins of what countries? N2: At the time when the game was written, the answer to N2 was "Bishop Joan", but there is no such portrait on modern Andorran coins. E2: Do Sicily and the Isle of Man count as countries? (Hmm, maybe the latter ...) Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 It may not be what they were looking for, but it is correct. They worded the question wrong, they asked what the alloy was and not the source of the alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
