Only Coin Collectors Over 50 Can Pass This Test… Newbies Stay Away!

What kind of currency is this?

If you started collecting before the internet existed, if you ever waited in line at the post office for a new commemorative issue, if you still have a Whitman folder with holes you’ll never fill, this quiz is for you. This isn’t about bullion prices or Reddit hype. This is about the coins you held in your hand when gas was 35¢, when silver actually circulated, and when “error coin” meant something you found in change, not on eBay. Forty photos that separate the lifelong numismatists from the TikTok flippers. No Google. No mercy. If your collection is still in a coffee can and your magnifying glass has real glass in it, step up. Everyone else… stay in the kiddie pool.
