Wow, that certainly did pick up pace there! A slight catch up as I will be out soon: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Riga 1540. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Livonia 1539.
I go out of business before then, but I can do 1542. Livonia order I believe:[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Same as the others - there is no right or wrong way to collect the coins, it is up to you to decide what gives you satisfaction. Personally I...
I picked up this with a bunch of British silver coinage yesterday. Appears to be Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, although their names are not...
Picked up these today as part of a bunch of British silver coinage. The rest was quite worn, but these two made slight upgrades for me so have...

Where in Krause for 16th century? I thought they only went back to 1600?
I am pretty sure it cannot be a groat on this occasion. Elizabeth 3rd/4th coinage - 1561 to 1577 includes no groats. Size always needs to be taken...

Wow! You reactivated a 6 year old thread! I never knew I still had a watch on this one.
This one was brought to me in the market today - a nice upgrade for my Edward VII Half Crown sequence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Talking of which, here is my slightly less good Philip and Mary sixpence dated 1554: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Go for it!
Then as I understand it, the game is over! The poster of the last coin in the sequence is the winner and gets a prize off @lordmarcovan . I would...
