<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 25648525, member: 40017&quot;]My target was not huge - just one circulation coin from each monarch from William I in 1066 to the end of hammered coinage around 1660, then one of each date and denomination from there to 1971.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the hammered there were 3 gaps for a long time:</p><p>William II (Rufus) 1087-1100 - this one I still need,</p><p>Henry IV 1399-1413 - this is the one just filled,</p><p>Edward V 1483 - The Prince in the Tower. It is now thought that no coin can be identified as definitely from that period as the mintmark was used both before and after that date, so I have abandoned that one. Total 26 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the milled coinage I am probably 95% there with most of the gaps either 18th Century Silver or very scarce dates. I have lost count of how many - 1000s!</p><p><br /></p><p>As filling gaps was getting so difficult I expanded into Saxon coins with the aim of getting one for each king of Wessex or All England from 786 to 1066 - a total of 19 kings possible of which I have 12.</p><p><br /></p><p>All gives me something to do![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
