Welcome to our annual competition once again :)
I can't believe a whole year has passed since last time....

Ten coins as usual - can you guess what they are?

For hints see the previous years threads
2016 thread
2015 thread

Simply PM me your answers and I will post the amount you have correct, send as many PM's with answers as you like.  To win if you have 10 correct answers we will hold a draw, if no one has 10 then the 1st prize goes to whoever has most.

Last entry is 30th December 2017, after which I will post the prize (s) to the winner (s).
Prizes will be revealed in a short while.

Please do not post answers in this thread.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Will be out of town till the the 26th and then back to work. Might get a chance to work on it...
hope so anyway. 3 and 10 look easy. Might be a good start for me.

Thanks for taking the time of preparing the quiz again and being generous offering the prizes. It became for me quite a classic moment on Christmas holidays.
For sure I'll give it a try.

I was out of town the last 3 days and a very long weekend before.
I had maybe Wed and Thur I could have worked on it but didn't really have time.
I am very sorry I didn't get to participate this year but I had a good time doing what I was doing :-)
