A.N. I haven't a clue how to play this game but does my 600-550 BC Twenty-fourth Stater fit here? I mean I can see a 4th Century BC coin followed by a 5th Century BC coin, and this would be a 6th Century BC coin? 600 - 550 BC, 1/24 Stater Mysia Kyzicos 0.50 gm EL6 Head of Tunny Fish R. (Obv.) Quadripartite Incuse Swastica (Rev.) Hurter & Liewald 2.2 ef Von Fritze1,9 SNG France-Rosen419 EF  Edited by Topcat7

Well I'm not sure why the LYCIA coin is there. The date range is for Aug Max 310-301 BC. None of these coins are contemporary with Aug Max's coin, what's going on here.

For it to be a contemporary game the coins MUST BE CONTEMPORARY.

BTW- I wanted to mention both the Stater and the Gold 1/24 coin is totally awesome! Hang on to them. I just wanted to give Aug Max his spot light, haha.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. My apologies to A.N. (and others). I didn't understand the game, but I think that I now do. Contemporary coin to the 'master' (or his 'delegation). I will leave it there because - Quote:
