Coin Quizzes

Not sure if any of you have tried these before, but I found them online and thought they could provide for some Friday fun.

Fun stuff.........

 

Got 9 out of 10. Who knew 600 A.D.!

BTW, interesting question about coin cleaning! I won't ruin the aswer, but as the debate rages on in another thread, I had to chuckle when I saw this question.

 

I think you mean 600 B.C.
Here is a coin from ca. 450-400 B.C.


Edit to add:
I have an older coin from India that is from 550-450 B.C. The first coins are generally accepted as being from Ionia or Lydia around 600 B.C. They are made of electrum (gold/silver mixture). It's cool stuff.

Sweet coin, thank you for posting it.

 

Did anyone try any of the other quizzes there or just the first one?

 

I tried only the second one: So You Want To Be a Coin Collector

 

I only tried one quiz & had an incoming call which caused the question I was on to apparently time-out. I plan to play later.

 

Yes, you are correct. I got it wrong again!!!!!!!
