[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 8210755, member: 94733"]Fun challenge for you. Are you doing this for just one troop? How many are in the troop? Depending upon the time, space, and number of scouts you might have, I might show one, or more, of the Mint videos that pertain to the Scout requirements for the badge.

Show five different grade examples of the same coin type. Explain the term proof and why it is not a grade. Tell what encapsulated coins are. [/I][/B] [COLOR=#0080ff] Maybe make up a display showing each grade with brief explanations.[/COLOR] [B] [/B] [B][I]6. Do ONE of the following: [/I][/B] [B][I](a) Collect and identify 50 foreign coins from at least 10 different countries. [/I][/B] [COLOR=#0000b3]Which means you need to provide that many coins to each. That's a lot of coins if your turn out is large. Good luck. [/COLOR][/QUOTE]
