There's only 10 of us at most regularly posting here I think this is the main reason. The Spanish colonial gang would have lots of coins from the 1780s. I just went back and looked at a spreadsheet of worn and battered coins from my childhood collection that I sold in the last 10 years, and there were plenty of silver issues from Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru in the 1780s. As for continental Europe, I also sold off my French coppers from the 1780s ... as @spence has shown, there were Polish coppers, but not much in the way of Polish silver in this decade (well, not that is within my budget). I should know the reason, but don't. Always more to learn, which is why I love this hobby. Report this Post to the Staff

You probably have about a year, give or take a month or two. @jbuck, first, a hearty thanks for hosting these threads. That big sucking sound is "How Far Back" pulling me further into a re-kindled love of numismatics. I also want to comment again on the success of this edition. By page 340 of the 5th edition, we were already well into the 1400s! Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/14/2020 11:26 pm Yes, grading has in many cases gotten a bit "loose" in the intervening 67 years! I have some nice tokens and other coins from collections from the 50s and 60s, and many of them have coins graded "VF" or "EF" that would be no-brainer EF/AU or even AU/Unc in modern grading.
