first one of the millennium 1000-1999: 8 OK, now I didn't think this would matter, but it does now that we have a coin from 2000. The millennia should really be 1-1000, 1001-2000, and 2001-present. Going by the correct definition, Dorado would be first for the second millennium, and pepactonius would be the first for the third. What say you, Crazyb0? |

Oriole was actually correct, the Gregorian time reckoned is from 00-99, within the Century and the Millinneums. We refer to 19th Century which is actually 1800-1899, 1899 being the actual 19th counted 100 year period since the BC/AD turnover. Altho one must note for sake of argument there is NO Zero-Zero year in this calendar references there is only a -1 and +1 recognized. Guess the Romans were good at "most" things...  Edited by Crazyb0

You're correct in that there is no year zero, and that's why the first millennium extends through 1000. If it ended in 999 (and subsequent millennia are 1000-1999, 2000-2999, etc.), the first would only be 999 years. To quote Wikipedia: Quote:
The Gregorian calendar has been defined with counting origin 1. Thus each period of 1,000 years concludes with a year number with 3 zeroes, e.g., the first thousand years in the Western calendar included the year 1000. Now, for the purposes of this game, I have no problem with using 1-999, since we've already started doing that. I just wanted to clarify. Edited by Numisma

Well, harumph! Who am I to question the absolute Godlike accuracy of Wikipedia! Lol!  I'll alwayget a kick then out of the Y2K fears that on the start of the new Millennium on January 1, 2000 ALL the computers of the world would crash and burn, plagues, famine and pestilence would follow! Run Forrest, RUN! This is one place I'll disagree with the crowd, 00-99 it shall be!  |

The poster makes the rules, definition or not.
I was neither agreeing nor disagreeing with what is the millennium, I was just following @crazy's rules.

Points so far: Oriole: 1st of Mill(8), 3 Matl(15), 5 color(5) = 28 points Numisma: 1st of Mill(8), 1 Matl(5), 1 color(1) = 14 points ( silver/tin is not brown bronze ) Dorado: 1st of Mill(8), 4 colors(4) =12 points Pepactonius: 2nd of Mill(4), Matl(5), 4 colors(4) = 13 points (paint is a material put on the coin) There are definitely more coins available, no one has an inlaid coin? or I'd even take one like this, is has a "foreign" material on it:  This was the proposed design of the State Quarter we were to vote on. We did, it passed overwhelmingly BUT...it mattered less when it got to the State Assembly! This would be worth: 4 points for 2nd Mill, 5 points for a paper sticker and at least 20 points for those shades of gray! A Winner of 29 points! Come on now folks there's still one millennia open, inlays and colorized coins, jump in even if ya can't win, think outside of the box! And yes, I know....  Edited by Crazyb0

at least 20 points for those shades of gray! @Crazy, I thought that you were counting distinct colours rather than shades. Mine has at least one more if you are counting minor variances. |

Monday update!Oriole: 1st of Mill(8), 3 Matl(15), 6 color(6) = 29 points Bd251: Addl Mill(4), 1 matl(5),9 color (9) = 18 points (I see 9 distinct colors including GID) Numisma: 1st of Mill(8), 1 Matl(5), 1 color(1) = 14 points ( silver/tin is not brown bronze ) Dorado: 1st of Mill(8), 4 colors(4) =12 points Pepactonius: 2nd of Mill(4), Matl(5), 4 colors(4) = 13 points (paint is a material put on the coin) Finn235: Addl Mill(4), 1 Matl(5), 1 color?(1) = 10 points Oriole, did change it for you, but you do realize I already gave you your goof of figuring you initial points from a 12 to 15 . Don't think it will matter unless there are a couple of last minute entries for you are the leader. 5 and 1/2 hours are left. Steve, you had no silvered or gold washed Greeks? Been waiting for the Japanese gold inlaid key coin to show up! THAT was a cool item!

@Crazy, yes I did notice that. Have I said thanks?
In any case, I humbly defer to the poster's rules and decisions.
This is a game with no monetary reward, so we want to have some fun and not worry about the outcome.
