Notice For Everyone Who Has Coins From Before 1600

Looking forward to see it in a weeks time.

Yes, a coin from AD25 will count. But it will take quite a few days (actually months) to get to the 21-30 decade.
Looking forward to see your coin then.

Postscript:

You can post it already in https://goccf.com/t/193302&whichpage=1 though, year 25 is missing there.

Many points have been raised in the linked thread, so I will only mention one key point.
The vast majority of the members on this forum are from Anglo-Saxon countries and apart from Britain don't have any coinage of the relevant age. Dealers will import bulk lots of coinage which will offer good turnover and profit. Since the collector community in the Eastern European countries is only now growing, the prices of the coins from there are relatively low.

The Commonwealth, which existed for over four centuries (if you count from the Union of Krewo), was the largest nation within Europe. Covering all or part of modern-day Poland, Ukraine, Kaliningrad, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and extending into parts of Russia.

Then, when one considers the fact that Poland had a vassal state (The Duchy of Courland) that technically was part of Poland (Swedish invasion of Courland in 1655 sparked the Deluge, a part of the Northern Wars) and possessed colonies of its own in the Americas and Africa; and Poland occupied the Tsardom of Russia (namely Moscow) between 1610 and 1612 after the Seven Boyars of Russia elected Prince Władysław (the son of Zygmunt III Waza; and the future King of Poland as Władysław IV Waza) as Tsar of All Russia, however Władysław was never crowned due to objection of his father. That of course then brings about Poland's many military campaigns, a good deal of which were fought outside of Polish territory (and one would imagine the soldiers carried money with them)

Additionally you must take into account the Black Death, which ravaged European populations and must have had an effect on mintage figures (less people need less coinage), but Poland was largely spared, mainly due to the fact the ritualistic cult killing of cats was not practiced and the fact the Polish Kings sealed borders and quarantined all entrants, and Poland was thusly allowed to flourish. At its height, Poland had some 11 million citizens.

Thus ensuring the złoty would have circulated widely, throughout the Rzeczpospolita and into the surrounding nations, and having been minted in large numbers would ensure their survival to the modern era in sufficient quantities.

I am looking forward to posting my old Dutch stuff. I just picked up a 1474, 1478, and 1488 to go along with the double stuivers I already had from 1490, 96, and 99.

Thanks! Will check it out.

BUMP and a serious question:

Where are all those who posted in the original HFBCWG thread?
