Another bump. We are looking for coins minted in the decade of 890-899 AD!  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 I surprised myself with that I hope its OK since the period falls within... I can't help again till a coin 695-740 (not sure when to post coins with date ranges like that) but the majority of my coins are 400-600BC Edited by DavidUK

Thanks for the post @DavidUK! I think that of the original rules set forth by Medieval in January of 2105, this one is most relevant to this situation: Quote:
4. The active decade changes at midnight (CCF time) once a coin has been posted with a date falling into the decade or an undated coin with a minting period of not more than 10 years starting in the active decade. I believe Medieval's intent was to avoid undated coins that were minted over more than a decade-long period. I'm ok with extending this a little bit as we are now in a time when not too much was changing over the space of only ten years. However, if possible, I'd like to keep the aspect of the rule that undated coins should only "count" for the decade in which they could have first been minted. In this case, your coin would therefore be most appropriate for the decade of 880 to 889 AD. Are you ok holding off then until we get a coin from the 890s and then go to yours? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Another bump--we are still looking for coins minted between 890 and 899 AD. Here is the closest that I can get us to that range, without going into the decade ahead of ours. It is another dirham, this one from Tashkent Uzbekistan minted in AH 288. in converting to AD years, it comes from 900 to 901 so just a smidge too late to count. I'm hoping that someone else out there can help us start moving forward again!   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

bumping this up for another week. anyone want to post a coin from the 890s AD so that we can move to a new decade?
i did see a coin for sale that had been minted in this period, I think it was Byzantine, but at a hundred bucks, it was outside of my budget for moving this thread further back in time...

All it takes is $125 and a call to Stephen Album so that we can be on our way. You will then be the proud owner of a Denier from Charles the Simple and this thread will move to the 880s.  Not sure if posting his website with the coin for sale is allowed, so mods please delete if it was a no-no... http://db.stevealbum.com/php/chap_r...ter=2&page=1"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I do not think there is a problem with that.  Any takers? |

Shouldn't the Leo Vi posted earlier on the page be good enough to move it forward?

I believe it is disqualified because it does not have a specific date and the range in which it was minted spans two decades.

@arnoldoe, I realize that I must sound like some sort of OCD maniac, but I'm just trying to shepherd this thread in the way that Medieval seems to have envisioned it when he or she started it. I'm comfortable waiting a little while for the right coin to be posted and thereby let us continue progressing. Quote:

If we're interpreting this literally, the 899-924 Edward the Elder coin recently posted in the 28 centuries thread should count, technically. (But I'd prefer something better.) |
