tabbs Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Aaah, thanks for the hints! And yet, at present I don't have the foggiest idea of what the three missing ones could be.

Which bugs me particularly in the case of that spooky face in #13 ... Christian 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.

DawsonsLV Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I knew Nr3 is European, but I fixxxed on Spanish peseta and couldn't remember anything else! I would be very surprised if anyone can recognize Nr7! Mission impossible! akdrv=> How about enlarge visible areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I knew Nr3 is European, but I fixxxed on Spanish peseta and couldn't remember anything else! Yeah, the 1870 Spanish stuff has a very simular reclining allegory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belg_jos Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 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?? Regards, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topher Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I really like these contests, akdrv, but I'm horribly overmatched at them. One of these days, though, I'll be in there with the "big boys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
