CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 11:25 am I found "The Early Dated Coins of Europe 1234-1500" on sale and ordered it. I figured we can start look on the bay and other sites by coin type. It seems that they can be incorrectly listed since the number 4 and 7 appear differently. This ducat, from 1497 demonstrates what I am talking about: Also dates will appear as MCCCCLXXXV instead of 1485. If someone can translate the Islamic and Indian coins that would give us more to search as well. Now is the time for patience! Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 11:56 am I saw one listing, that showed 1W99 but in parentheses it had (1499) as the correct date. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 08/22/2013 09:40 am Need a ruling on a 1499. I found what I believe is a 1499 (the description does not mention date) that matches precisely a 1499 on the medievalcoinage.com and so far is within my price range. However, the dates could possibly be obscured on the coin for sale. If I get the coin and it matches the site but the date is still obscured in hand, would you count it? I do not have my book yet.

jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 08/22/2013 11:28 am It is acceptable if the coin has a design that was only used in 1499. If not, then it would need a visible date.

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 08/22/2013 11:30 am Thanks for the ruling - it will help in the future (the price has jumped up in the last 2 hours so I will not be bidding on it). Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 1:26 pm I received my book over the week-end. I will spend the this week during free moments of coming up with descriptions of the coins listed in this book for 1499. There are some where the dates end with 99 and errors of 199. I bet we can find some mislabeled items on ebay and other sites. It appears we are in the time frame where patience is a must. This is was I love about coins! Report this Post to the Staff
