<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2336710, member: 19463&quot;]Dates for hoards are based on the newest coin in the group so we assume that there was one or more coin dating 270 included.&nbsp; It is possible with a broken pot that there was a single coin of that date lost on top of the spot where the pot was buried and it got mixed in.&nbsp; None of the photos we have seen so far includes the 270 coin.&nbsp; It is always possible that a hoard could be buried later than the latest coin date.&nbsp; If II buried the jar of wheat cents I pulled from circulation last year, archaeologists of 3016 might be fooled into thinking the hoard was buried in 1958 unless it bothered them that none of the 1958 coins were unworn as they should be if the hoard was buried that year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
