<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2293404, member: 19463&quot;]This is the frequently asked question with no answer.&nbsp; Ancient collectors often include Byzantine which can be nearly 1000 years newer than some Europeans that we would classify as medieval.&nbsp; A reasonable cutoff can be 500 AD but you can&#039;t get too strict on such dates depending on which cultures you collect.&nbsp; I suggest not worrying bout artificial labels created by modern authors of high school history books.&nbsp; They only apply to European lands and split differently for collectors of the Near East.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect coins made by hammering by hand and not by machines.&nbsp; That allows easier definitions that don&#039;t have quite as many footnotes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
