The "Coin Uno" or "Follow the Leader" game (World Coins edition)

Well, if you insist.

 

1697 or Great Britain (or England), next.

 

VERY cool! Never seen one of those!

Here's a British King George III halfpenny- the original date is gone, but another was hand-engraved when it was made into a love token.

So that's Great Britain or 1773 or any love token with a date, to the next player.



This one has a pretty interesting backstory. I discovered Sam Jessop was actually rather (in-)famous. Here's my full thread about this piece.

 

LOL

We all seem to be comedians tonight.

 

Great Britain: WW1 Royal Flying Corps identity badge made from 1916 halfcrown.

I call this one "The Sailmaker's Badge", as 2nd Air Mechanic Arthur Perry was a sailmaker. (Sails on military ships had mostly gone by then, but the trade carried over to the early wood-and-fabric aircraft).



So that's Great Britain or 1916 or again, any dated love token/engraved/counterstamped piece, to the next player.

 

Sweet counterstamp. Technically a foul since there's no date to play from, but that's OK. I can play from Mexico with my most recent "Box of 20" addition.

So that's 1761 or Mexico, next.

 

Canada or 1913, next.

Was gonna post another Vicky from the 1901 set but I decided to switch things up and go with a detector find. Digging up Canadian large cents in the Deep South is surprising, but it's happened to me three times so far. This was the first, early in my digging days.

(Sadly, I accidentally gouged this one with my dig knife while recovering it. Modern electronic pinpointers help cut down on these sort of accidents nowadays.)

 

Why wait? You only live once!
