<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 979456, member: 26302&quot;]A lot, (of course not all), ancient collectors cut off at 1453 if they even collect Byzantine. It is a weird cutoff, not collecting 10th century Islamic but accepting 15th century Byzantine as &quot;ancient&quot;. I go to 1453 in my ancient group, but also sneak in some contemporary issues like Bulgarian and Crusader types. Generally, ancients cut off in Europe in 1453 Byzantium, the rise of Islam in middle east, and I have no clue for Chinese. I collect Chinese but have no idea what would be considered ancient, medieval, or modern. The end of cash in 1911(?) might be the only dividing line between modern and &quot;classic&quot;, with no other boudaries like Europeans use.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have heard many mediaval collectors cutting off at milled coinage. But, they also buy my late Byzantine coins too, so we aren&#039;t exactly on speaking terms. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
