[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2283602, member: 19463"]I wonder how many of us could do well on a test where we are shown photos of a few members' coins and had to name the owner.

Just as an exercise even without a test, it might be fun to try to select a small number of coins that best represent you as a collector.
