I made a list of 24 coin collecting questions that you try to answer.Some are fairly easy and some are not so easy.Rate yourself when I give the answers.If you miss zero or one your an advanced coin collector...two,three or four you know your stuff....five,six or seven you enjoy your coins.I'm trusting everyone that they will not copy.So go on ahead and test your skills.
