Quiz - Chronology

In the spirit of the recent quizzes...

Put these 8 coins in chronological order from most ancient to most modern.

Simple right?
and for those who didn't know....

Chronology (from Latin chronologia, from Ancient Greek χρόνος, chronos, "time"; and -λογία, -logia) is the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time.


I will post the correct sequence tomorrow evening, give it your best shot!

I'm going to say 3, 7, 2, 5, 6, 4, 8, 1

 

Uh... I would post my answers, but I fear I'd embarrass myself.
I know it's Greek before Roman before English.
I don't know eastern coins well enough to work out where they fit in this chronology.

 

You would not embarrass yourself, you show courage for trying.

 

7,2,5. That's all I know and that may be wrong.

 

ok, didn't cheat or look at other posts...until after i posted this...

7,3,2,5,1,6,4,8

 

6,3,7,5,2,1,8,4

 

3, 7, 2, 1, 5, 8, 6, 4

 

Like Greg, I'm unsure about the 'eastern' but too old to care much about being 'embarrassed' LOL...

So, I pick:

7, 2, 3, 4, 6, 3, 5, 8, 1, 4

 

7,2,5,4,3,6,1,8

 

I can correctly sequence the three Greco-Romans but would have to look up the rest.

 

3, 7, 2, 6, 8, 1, 5, 4

 

It is a TRAP... Since The Master Noobster placed the coins in the TRAY in an order, logic dictates he placed coin number 1 first, coin number 2 second, and so forth. Ergo, the chronological order is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...

Actually, since I am just beginning to capture ancient Eastern coins, I am still learning. Therefore, I recuse myself from answering.

 

7 3 2 5 6 1 4 8
I did my order and then went back to see if it had been posted. I differed from chrsmat71 only in swapping 1 and 6 and have no basis for my order there. If I'm not right, I hope he is but a couple others there could be anywhere as far as I know.

 

all i know is 2 before 5 and 4 after 5...

 

Its really interesting who decided to venture a guess and who is close and who is off by a mile. I will be posting the correct sequence later on this afternoon. Great efforts by all, and thank you. Please keep them coming.

 

7 3 2 5 6 8 4 1
