    Ok, I was wondering why the thread was so slow ...

    Here's another Morgan... [ a date that I can leap off of to another design...]

    Next, another Morgan, or any 1889, or just for that "wild card" aspect (since this is MY thread, haha), you may also post any holed coin.

    Based on the assumption that ambro51's holey VT copper is dated 1788 (that last digit was hard to see), here is a "1788" British gaming counter made to look like a spade guinea. (Actually circa early 19th century).

    image

    By the rules of the game, that means next up is any 1788 or any British coin. But let's also extend the holey coin wildcard thing until it peters out, shall we?

    Back to the holeys, though.


    (Yeah, this an 1865.)

    1865 or 2c piece or any holey, to the next player.

    Let's see how long we can keep the penny denom going ... of course it looks much better in hand

    Sarawak is a Malaysian state, so I'm thinking any Malaysian coin is fair game?

    OK, Malaysia it is. Or, in this case, the British colonial equivalent of that neck of the woods, i.e., the Straits Settlements.

    I've got the Malaysia part covered and we can still keep your one cent denomination. We'll just push the date back to 1901. image

    So it's any Malaysian coin or any 1901 to the next player.

    Still Malaysia or 1901 (or British).

    I can play Brit empire stuff all day long, but eventually some Litesider will tire of it and snatch the ball back to their side of the court. image

    I was about to walk away but I'm having too much fun to stop now. I've got a bunch of pennies but none that nice so let's switch gears a little. I know you have a better one of these - you've posted it before - but I'm in the mood for another Victoria!

    image

    So it's 1900 or British to the next player...
