<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 802966, member: 19456&quot;]I had originally composed this as an anicent question, but really it covers more then that. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What defines ancient? For that matter, what defines modern? How about everything in between? For example, what came directly after ancient? Did it go directly from ancient to medieval or...? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What defines the beginning of modern coinage? I have seen people reference things from the 1700s as modern...I suppose if you mainly collect ancients that would be the case but I don&#039;t personally view that as modern. I personally view the modern era to begin in the 1960s when silver was removed from coinage. Furthermore, NCLTs are far more prevalent in the 1965-current timespan, design concepts have totally changed, etc. I don&#039;t see it as a one-line for every country event, but a gradual shift. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does that same thing happen from transitions to/from other periods as well? Is it possible to find coinage from two different eras minted in the same year? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is just the kind of thing I think about. 95% or so of my collection is from the post-silver era so for me it&#039;s mostly just academic, but I am curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
