[QUOTE="ryanbrooks, post: 716698, member: 10924"]Hey everyone! :) Well, not one person got everything right, but these are the people who only missed one thing: These people got everything right besides one thing: Duke Kavanaugh Lehigh96 Treashunt Mcarney1173 Okay, so I was mainly looking for: Tuesday, February 19th, 1992 was NOT a true date. It was a Wednesday, not a Tuesday! :p Since the coin is 10 years old, and the passage was dated 1992, the coin must be a 1982 and can't have a scratch through the 84 in the date. The coin is a two PENCE piece, not a two CENT piece. The 2p piece did not have a motto on it's side, therefor the scratch going through the six words couldn't exist. Okay... so here we go! :D [B]Round 4's Passage:[/B] [I]October, 2009. It was Tuesday and I was on my way to my friends house on my brand new bike. It was a good 30 minute ride, but I managed...
