Thanks jbuck, it should pass muster, and add a level of confidence in the AH 800.

So many pretty tankas...  It looks like the Bahmani version of the digit 9 had a rounded top that could indeed be confused with a 0, though the 9 seems to be smaller. In any case the vertical centering evidence stands. Might as well copy the current gap listing again, for ease of further access: 1464, 1463, 1462, 1457, 1454, 1446, 1428, 1426, 1414, 1409, 1408, 1407. (There had been no further missing dates since the last time it was posted.) |

What an amazing collection you have @ttk. Are you collecting by date and is this a happy coincidence for the purposes of this thread or do you have some other main criterion?

Thanks Spence, I'm glad that you like my submissions. To be quite honest, I didn't have any set goals for my collection prior to being sucked down the rabbit-hole of HFBCWG etc, and it would be best described as "eclectic". But now, I am attempting the OFEY strategy, with some house rules, the main rule being that I have to be able to afford the coins, and not "break the bank". I am picking the low hanging fruit first, and then I go hunting for the rarer years. The happy coincidence is that I am accruing some nice date run sets with the Delhi Sultans, Bahmani, Gujarat, Jaunpur, Timurid etc, and now looking at some of the middle east caliphates of Abbasids, Ayyubids, Umayyads etc. And it keeps me off the streets! The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Excellent coins @ttkoo!
(Are you planning to also eventually fill up the local date sets even for years that you already have other coins for? Obviously assuming that it fits within your budget, of course.)
For future reference, the 1428/831 coin is from the Sultanate of Gujarat. That seems to have been missed in the original description.
Updated gap listing: 1464, 1463, 1462, 1457, 1454, 1446, 1428, 1426, 1414, 1409, 1408, 1407, and there's been no further gaps so far. This comes out as (again) a bit over 95% coverage.
My next entry is 1387 (789 AH), which is due this Saturday, I believe.
