A new edition allows new members who missed out the early decades from this run to join in the fun. Feel free to start one at any time.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 11:32 am IIRC, we used one of my obscure Indian coins to scoot past the 850s roadblock a year or two ago... I know it would be sort of cheating, but we could use some Anastasius I or Kavadh coins to get past this block? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 11:35 am Refresh my memory, why was it cheating? Because it could not be pinned to the exact decade only?

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 12:49 pm It was a Bengal pala drachm, imitating a type introduced by Vigrahapala, whose rule began in 850. The imitative type persisted in use for well over a century after that. At the time, nobody could produce anything else, so Spence asked me to post it, since it at least started in the decade in question. At any rate, I have two drachms of Kavadh, who ruled during this time frame... I will have to check if any of them fits the bill. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 2:59 pm Ah. I guess one that started in the time frame is good. You can no easier prove it was not minted in that decade than you could prove it was.

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 8:43 pm Here is @finn's specific psot in question: http://goccf.com/t/195985&whichpage=42#2254207 I guess that I didn't realize at the time that your coin covered more than 10 years as I have been trying very hard to stick by @medieval's original rules since taking over the care and nurture of this thread.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 3:58 pm Bumpety bump... If this is restarted I think it should eminate from year 1. One thread going backwards and one going forwards given the majority here collect Roman and Greeks which we didn't even get to on this thread. We are on the cusp of cracking on, once we hit Rome it should be action. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 02/28/2018 10:07 pm Original thread bumped...just in case someone out there is sitting on a coin that was minted between 500 and 509 AD.
