Nice quiz Warren. The one type I really like that was not on there, (and I think would make a fabulous addition), would be the Emesa stone reverse...
Maybe I am just getting old. Number one simply looks like a poorly stored coin to me, and all I see is corrosion on the edge, not pretty toning....
Lol, boy, just think if your daughter and my son got married. Imagine the joint coin collection they would inherit! :)
I take my 4 year old to shows, and have taken my 2 year old. I would say at 2 be prepared to walk away from tables and not really have time to...

Is it telling of my collecting interests I quickly got every question in group 2, but I really have no idea on most group one questions? Btw, you...
