[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 2882683, member: 84744"]I think this would be fun to try by year... I bet we could probably manage "within a year of" pretty well for a large range. Going backwards would make sense, and for the early BC years we might have to switch to 5 or 10 year spans. I would be game if one of our medievalists wanted to start us off. Maybe at the year 1499? Suggested rules: If nobody gets the exact year of issue within 6 hours of the previous post, move to "within a year" (e.g. for 1499, anything securely dateable to the 1498-1500 range would work). If nobody gets "within a year" for 12h, move to "within 5 years". If nobody gets "within 5 years" for 24h, move to "within 10 years". (or something like that.) Note: The possible days of the coin's minting can't just overlap with the range, but must fall entirely within it.[/QUOTE]
