I know we are trying to get more discerning abut whether these "emission" dates reflect minting in the actual year of the emission, so I will withold some of my earlier Holland coins on this round of HFB
I think we have previously accepted posting coins with uncertain dates after a more definite coin for that date had already been posted.

(Of course the earlier we get the harder it is to find a definitively dated coin, as we have seen in the 7th edition. I really should get back to that mess as soon as possible!)

I thought I had one of those "uncertain date" coins for 1482, but I misremembered and it was actually 1487.
My next entries are "1457" (a type that some catalogs assign to that date) and 1452 (a definite date).

That Cologne coin is gorgeous. I'm surprised they didnt call it a Turnosegroschen given the knock-off design.

Yep I had something like that as the denomination, but just changed it based on the numista page (https://en.numista.com/196695).



Here is a Double Patard from Liege dated 1481 (Levinson II-61a):

I never noticed before that the engraver goofed up and forgot to inscribe the C as a backward D in the word DVCISSA (Duchess). So instead it reads DVDISSA
