Below are small sections of 25 U.S. Coins out of my collection -- all are legal tender, though some might be commemoratives. How many can you get right? If a design is shared amongst various denominations, you can identify it by the major design type only.
1- presidential dollar 4- washington quarter 5- sacagewea dollar 6- franklin half 8- lincoln cent 9- jefferson nickel 10- flowing hair 13- columbus commemorative half 14- sba dollar 18- seated liberty 21- barber not sure about the rest

Thats what I've got. I can't even guess what the last 3 are.

Ah dang, you're right. 20 is a shield nickel, not a 2c piece. They both looked similar at a quick glance and the color threw me off...
Very cool quiz. Got a few right at quick glance, but swung and missed on barbers, a couple of the commems and some of the copper.
