1478 groat of the County of Flanders:   Hopefully spence will be back by 1472 when I have a gap. I'm counting only one Gregorian date missing thus far (1487), and bd251 kept us goin with an AH dated coin that year. Edited by tdziemia

(AFAIK our first likely gap is 1464, which is not-so-coincidentally also the first year on our path that doesn't have any [known] AD dated coins.) |

Just needed a break, but I'm back now and will try to catch up a bit but without overwhelming the thread: Here are a couple Double Stuivers/Briquets from Brabant (Antwerp mint). The first is dated 1481 and the second is dated 1480:     "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

And a lot of rust on that reverse die. I wonder how long it was sitting around -- and what year the coin was actually struck? (How long does it take a die to rust?) |

(How long does it take a die to rust?) Good question. It's a pretty damp part of the world, which I suppose could contribute. And as you know, they were striking these coins at a pretty high rate for that era, so maybe all that whacking also accelerates the corrosion chemistry? Edited by tdziemia

1477 / AH 882 Jaunpur Half Tanka ttkoo you might want to double check this coin. GG doesn't list a half tanka during this time. I think your coin is a falus of Ibrahim Shah dated 82x (GG# J8) that has been silvered. I have a couple with similar silver appearance that were listed as "half tanka" when I purchased them. I assume that the seller misidentified them because they appeared silver and were about half the weight of a tanka. I'm leaning towards 824 as the date. |
