A test for some new members. Can you tell me the answers I'm looking for? You might win all 5 coins.
Please this is for new comers to the hobby.Please if you have a rep power lower then 50 then Give it a shot. I'll give it three days. If Brad don't mind.
If there is a tie then there will be one more picture put up for the tie breaker. But the tie breaker coin will not be sent.This breaker will be a hard one.
Picture 1 1972 DDO which one? The answer is in the picture.
Picture 2 date which one?
picture 3 what error?
picture 4 what error? What caused it?
picture 5 and 6 are the same coin. What do you call it?

Whew, I think I pulled the answer to #4 out of my butt. Just have to wait to see how I did on the rest of it now. I love taking tests! Yes, I am a giant nerd.

All the kudos go to Frank and this community as a whole. The generosity of not just coin give-aways, but more importantly of the knowledge imparted by the folks on this site is simply unparalleled anywhere I have ever experienced. Thanks to everyone for how much I have picked up in such a short time here. Man, six months ago I thought a broadstrike was what happened when you pissed off your girlfriend. :LOL_Hair:

Aaaaaaand....cue the crickets! (One single person in the audience claps slowly) Maybe Will should do a standup routine related to coins! :LOL_Hair:
Seriously though I agree that it is much more than giving coins. I'm glad that the people here are so open to sharing their knowledge.

Ugh. In the sober light of day, that was pretty awful, wasn't it? Sorry, Simon. :hanged:

No worries, just having a little fun as usual. I've made my share of bad puns and jokes as well!
