[QUOTE="lehmansterms, post: 2815692, member: 80804"]Wow! FIFTY-FIVE pages in this thread and you haven't gotten any farther back than 1878? That's modern World to be sure. To put it in perspective, my paternal Grandfather, whom I knew quite well (he lived well into the 1970's - which was well into my young adulthood) was born in 1881 - your oldest coins on display so far almost fall within living memory. Assuming this thread had progressed at least that far, I looked-in to see what you had for 1791 as I have a favorite Naples & Sicily crown dated 1791. Being that I'm primarily in ancient coins, a couple decades before the turn of the 19th century seems very modern. I'll check back in a few weeks to see how far this has gotten - I may be able to help a bit with the earlier 19th, and 18th centuries at which point I possibly have specimens dated each year (although I don't organize them that way - it might take some hunting) and I can probably help out with getting back to about 1500 - where the dates start getting pretty scarce. Now I've gotten the bug, however - Let me look for a presentable looking 1877. I have the IHC for that date, but I'm getting the sense that "World" is more the intended object of the thread.[/QUOTE]
