<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1638199, member: 40017&quot;]Interesting Question. I collect only British coins, and so I am limited by the years in which no British coins were made at all. On that basis 1833 is the first date for which I have no coins. 1832 is also a gap, again none made bearing that date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Much of the 18th Century is a problem as for most of it there are years when no coins were minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we exclude the impossible, then I am ok back to 1792. If we exclude as well the &quot;very unlikely&quot; then 1726 is the first gap. After that 1716, and then sound to 1669.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are also lucky to have some very long runs where you can get a coin for every date in the same denomination. I believe the longest is the Halfpenny which is continuous without gap from 1851 to 1960 - and I have at least one of all of those. Second longest is the Sixpence which runs 1862 to 1967 - and I have all but the first of those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
