Command line order is important.  The delay option is a setting, not an
operator:

  convert -delay 200 test??.gif -coalesce anim1.gif
  convert -delay 1000 test??.gif -coalesce anim2.gif

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#why for a discussion on why the
ImageMagick command line style changed from ImageMagick 5 to ImageMagick 6.
