Here's to getting a 2082 coin personally. Already 1/3 of the way there, and I've already survived metal tonka trucks, jumping fences, high school, college twice, 70+ other '82 coins, SIDS, crashing a motorcycle into the jungles of Vietnam, falling through a glass table in Thailand, slicing my hand open in Cambodia, a 10 day hospital stay in Germany, hypothermia at the summit of a 12,000 ft mtn, and a fantastic year of marriage and counting! |

This is a cool idea for a collection! I think I might start looking at something like that!

Wow, you sound like you would have quite a few very interesting stories to tell! |

Last week, I added 1182 and 782. Needing to find a 1282 so I can update the thread to "Every Century to 1182 :)" I am loving the treasure hunting, and how accomplishing this takes me to histories so far removed from my normal. Here are a couple of the 1182 China coins:  And here is a 782 Tabaristan. This is an instant Top 10!  |

Good job. Hopefully the 1182 will not take too long to appear.  |

I'm going to be accused of raising this thread from the dead but this is such a cool collection and what an accomplishment. Well done Collects82!

If I interpreted the signature correctly, only a 1082 is missing for each century back to 682 I'm not certain that there even is a coin from 482, though. 582 should be common enough, however. |

That's a really cool idea for a set! Never even considered it.

For 382, best I've come across thus far are a some coppers from each of Theodosius I, Valentinian II, and Gratian dated 379-383. Get one of each and decent odds one is from 382 I suppose. I think I could get the trio and make a nifty mini set for not too much. For 482, there are a couple RIC numbers that are rather narrowed down to 482. But I'm sure they aren't terribly common or affordable. Gold, yeah... It might be a while. For 582, Tiberius II RY 8 or Maurice Tiberius RY 1. Neither is terribly hard to find, just finding one I'm thrilled with and using the limited budget accordingly. For 1082, there's a Byzantine silver out of Thesselonica dated 1081/2 that is the narrowest I've found, but they sell for over $1k. I have seen a Persian gold dated 1082 for half that, so this might be the year gold is the logical options. Go figure. Crazy numismatics. |

Zeno mentions some 475 AH (=1082/3 AD) silver and billon dirhams of the Hudids of Denia; those apparently show up on auctions every so often, and tend to sell in the $700 range. I agree that gold may well be cheaper. For 382, there technically are dated coins, but... good luck. It's a rare type that almost always has the date off flan, and even undated examples, when identified, tend to sell for crazy money. 482 might not exist as dated at all, though; in fact there appear to be almost no 5th century AD years with any dated coins, and said coins are rare even when they do exist. (I overestimated the Sassanian dates.) This puts a bit of a snag even on my own idea of having a dated coin of some year in every AD century. (It's possible, technically; just unlikely to fit within my budget unless I get really lucky.) ...Have you considered whether you're going to look for 82 BC or 19 BC yet? |
