    I have all of them except for:

    5. I have it narrowed down to 3 different coins(terrible I know). I wish the OP image was a bit better. Tough comparing photos.
    10. I think I recognize it but have yet to place it. image

    The other 8 were realllllly easy and I knew them without looking them up. I'm surprised no one else has replied or sent all of the correct answers yet.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    I have now messaged the OP with what I hope to be the correct answers. We will see.

    Initially for 5 I was having trouble deciding between Columbian Exposition Half, 1926 Sesquicentennial of American Independence Half and the Lafayette Dollar...oh well.

    The NY Quarter...geeez.

    Good call on both!...I hope. image

    This is a kewl "challenge". I've participated in a similar challenge here a few years ago. I'll be PMing the OP soon enough.

    Cheers!

    I cant believe #5 threw me for a loop. #4 has me stumped. Looks like a baton pass. Maybe an Olympic comm?

    #6 looks very familiar, I just can't place it...image
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    Crop out Long Island and the East Bank of the Hudson river and nobody would ever get #10. That was the only one I could not get as is.

    I suppose a little honesty is ok , i did know or at least suspect #10 to be a state quarter . . and having a US State Quarters album right in front of me by chance yesterday...well..NY is on the first page so it didn't take long : )
    It was a pretty cool challenge , thanks mcarney1123image
