Inspired by the generosity of @lordmarcovan I figured it would be fun to get another game going in the world coins forum! Also in recognition of his generosity and to help with getting the world coins section humming with numismatic activity I will be offering a prize coin to sweeten the deal. Here are the rules;

1. I will post a coin in the OP from 2017 to get us started.

2. Posters can then post a coin from the SAME YEAR or PREVIOUS YEAR! For example the next coin played can be 2017 or 2016 and so on…

3. No skipping years!

4. The coin should be datable to a specific year by some mark or characteristic. It doesn’t necessarily need to be minted with a written date as long as it can be confidently dated to a year. No date ranges (Ex.: a coin datable to 1630-1636 would not be usable). Feel free to share with us anything interesting about the dating of the coin in your post.

5. Eastern and other coins that don’t use the Gregorian calendar are fair play even if the year doesn’t align perfectly as long as they are datable to ONE year in that calendar. At the bottom of the post just tell us the closest equivalent date in the Gregorian calendar. (Ex.: 1834/5)

6. Counter stamps and bankers marks are fair play as long as they are dated.

7. At the bottom of each post please tell us the country and date of your coin.

8. Once the thread has been inactive for 30 days (I.E. no new coins played) the member (other than me) who played the last coin with the earliest date that falls within the rules will win the OP coin!

Some Guidelines for play:

· US coins are welcome! However, since this is the world coins forum I would like to see as many entries from our world coin collectors as possible. In that spirit I suggest that we try not to flip the date more than every other year with a US coin. However, if the thread gets stuck for a day or so all bets are off and let’s see those American beauties

· Try to post one coin at a time but feel free to post multiple coins.

· If the winner chooses so they may elect another member to receive the OP coin on their behalf.

· If I made any mistakes or omissions in the above rules we will play it by ear and see where this goes

· Have fun! I'm interested to see how far back we can actually go with this.

So without further ado here is the first (and prize) coin.

UPDATE: After some consideration I have decided that a mystery prize coin will also be given to the "MVP" of the game! This could be whoever has the most entries in the game or it could be someone who just consistently adds some really interesting content. So make sure to post your coins from the year that is in play as much as possible so we can all enjoy and admire them. Hopefully this encourages everyone to get involved even for these earlier dates

Check the OP's rules. US coins are OK, and I am sure so are Canada. 1938 D US 5 cents. BTW, I had forgotten about this thread, glad it is still stumbling along.
