[QUOTE="Steve66, post: 4314509, member: 73011"]Since I've had a little more time on my hands, I have decided to work on a project I started about a year ago. It's sort of a cross between a history and a birth year project. My objective was to start with a coin from my birth year (1966) and to go backward (with dated coins) in increments of 100. (i.e. 1966, 1866, 1766, etc.). I managed to go back 500 years, and had to stop with 1566. I know there are dated 1466 coins, but they are hard to find, and way out of my price range for this project. The coins I have purchased are not expensive, and not top grade. Most of them were under $10 each. I didn't choose any of these coins for any particular reason. I chose coins that were affordable, and that I thought would look good for this project. The second part of my project is to build a framed plaque to display these coins. I am still working on the plaque (insert), and have just applied the first coat of poly to the frame. The Coins: 1566 Hungary, 1 Denar [ATTACH=full]1097129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1097130[/ATTACH] 1666 Austria, 3 kreuzer [ATTACH=full]1097131[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1097132[/ATTACH] 1766 Spain, 1 Real [ATTACH=full]1097133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1097134[/ATTACH] 1866 Belgium, 1 Franc [ATTACH=full]1097135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1097136[/ATTACH] 1966 Netherlands, 1 Gulden [ATTACH=full]1097137[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1097138[/ATTACH] I will post more pics when I complete the project.
