1759 Austria 1 kreuzer

 

1759 -- Spain, 1 real:

 

Seems to have gone quiet on 1759 so here are some 1758s:

 

I've only got three more after this one...if we can get every year in first. IOM is already popular.

 

Provided we can get past 1755 I can then carry on with every year until 1670!

 

Here are a few from 1758. How do the rules of this game work? If we come to a year for which no one can post a coin, are we stalled out? Say, I don't have a 1645 but I have a 1644, can it skip along that as long as it is a real, in some language, dated coin?

 

IIRC technically that's the end of the game...but I HOPE we will keep going until we get to the end/whoever has the oldest dated coin.

 

I got one from 716AD/Umayyad Dinar=these are dated in AH calender.

 

I still got a 59 to show you guys/gals
Mainz/ AV Dukat 1759 Mainz Mint
Johann Friedrich Karl Von Ostein Bishop of Worms

 

My oldest is 1573 but there's a big gap between that and my next one.

 

Wow! maybe we will be at this same time next year! I even have some Ancients that are dated on differnt calenders

 

As long as I'm around we can get back to 1498 before stalling. After that, finding dated coins gets harder. In particular, AD 1491 seems to be especially tough, unless someone has an AH-dated coin for 1491. There don't seem to be any European coins dated AD1464 at all (according to Levinson).

Some of my early dated coins are exceptionally poor, especially 1499 and 1492.

 

I have a 1644 here and a 1519 on the way. Still have most of the dates back to about 1719, with probably a few gaps. Guess we will see how it goes.

 

1758 -- UK, 1 shilling:

 

Nothing more seems to be happening on 1758, so here are my offerings for 1757. After this I miss out until 1754.

 

1757 -- UK 6 pence:

 

Great Britain six pence, Utrecht VOC half duit and West Frisiae 2 stuiver

 

I just rigged some folders of coin pix to post on this thread, 1756 back to 1750, have several coins per year. They will be mostly boring, similar coins which will keep the game going.
