I have a small binder with about 30 2x2's and the coins don't have much value. Look at the 10 pictures below and guess what each one is.

Please Private Message the answers to me instead of posting below!!!!

The winner of this contest will get 3-4 coins from the binder. Thanks

    Neat game. Off the top of my head, #4, 5, 7, and 9 were unrecognizable.

    Just figured out #9. Sent a PM first without it, then with it.... Very tricky test!

    I did scan through my Red Book to find some of these,
    not recognizing them right away, or being deceived. #8 was the last
    one I found. #9 I recognized right away, not thinking it difficult, but
    maybe I'm wrong.

    Cool idea. Not to be a smartt a$$, but I thought #9 was pretty obvious. #8 has me stumped though...

    answers?

    some are easy for me, others not.

    It depends upon what you collect.

    Not sure where the OP went. I got 9 of 10 and quickly realized a dumb mistake. I'd post the answers but it's not my thread.

    Yeah, I was hoping that for #9, everyone would see the numbers "900" and assume its a coin dated "1900", but I guess it may have been obvious to some people

    5? Really? Unless its a really sneaky one (and Im not going to post the answers here), I thought 5 was super easy. A lot more than some of the others
