The "Coin Uno" or "Follow the Leader" game (World Coins edition)

Yeah, go for it! I don't mind spinoffs. There have been paper money spinoffs and all kinds of similar copycat threads on various forums since I started the original Coin Uno in 2005. I'm flattered. I just like it when I make a hit now and then.

I think your new concept is a great idea in theory, though I don't know how it would turn out in practice.

Edit: I'd call it something like "Connections", though, to borrow from James Burke. Maybe "Numismatic Connections"?

 

Great design on that Peruvian, particularly the reverse!

OK, how about Peru or 1699, next.

This was my first 8R cob.



PS @semibovinian- I love that Russian 15K, too. Crazy how prooflike some of those can be, and affordable, too! Bang for the buck.

 

Stuck.

I've gotta go back to the USA if I'm gonna play.

Going from your 1811...

This 1811 Classic Head cent from the back side of my old Holey Coin Vest II (seen in my avatar). The back side of the vest was a simple one-per-year date (not variety!) set of "holey" large cents. I lacked only the 1793, 1795, 1799, and 1804.

So 1811 or USA to the next player.

 

OK.

One of two that were on my old avatar Holey Gold Hat:



1870 or USA, next!

 

How about the only Mint State Flying Eagle cent I've ever owned?

UNC... details.

A nice Mint State coin... BUT...



Paying $100 for a holed Flying Eagle cent, I questioned my own sanity at the time.

The jury's still out on the question of my sanity, but as I recall, I did OK when I later broke up the Holey collection and sold this piece.

So we're at 1857 or USA, next.
