Happy to see this thread has sprang back to life...

Standing by with a 1727, 1723, 1712, and a 1707.

"How Far Back Can We Go?" now has 500 replies!

Since no one posted...

Here is a 1730 ruble



Congratulations for over 500 posts!

I like that rouble gxseries!

Here is a 1729 taler:

Ooh.. that's gorgeous

I'll reserve the right to post 1727

Agreed that the 1729 taler was indeed gorgeous. It would be hard to find a coin that would better represent the date.
Hats off to worldcoinguy for jumpstarting this thread with that nice 1733 taler.

I would like to co-reserve 1727 with tane as I have a pretty decent Netherlands 2 Stuiver piece to show. Important to maintain a Dutch presence to keep things civilized...

You know as a group we have a pretty complete/pretty impressive dated type collection. Wouldn't you say?

Thanks worldcoinguy.

1728 kopek

Going with the same series as gxseries :

1727 5 kopecks

This is my 1727 Netherlands 2 Stuiver.

Notice the die shift on the reverse?



This thread has REALLY picked up momentum...

Feel free to post a 1726...

(time passes...)

I swear this thread either moves at 200 miles an hour or sits in long term parking at the airport for a month...

I'll have to bide my time now until we get to 1710, I'm afraid!

You could just buy a few coins to help this along

I only have a 1724 and 1720 and I'm pretty much done

I may have a Hamburg Schilling from 1726, have to find it though.

Got a 1722

Doing a quick date search on omnicoin we need darkside help from Ian. He has a real nice group of coins and tokens in this date range.

I have only 1725...

Someone should send him a PM and politely plead for his help.

I'm ready with a nice 1723 Hibernia and a very nice Swiss 1712 and Dutch 1707 gold ducat, actually two of my favorite coins.

1721 & 1690 for me...

Would you like a few of us to stop by and help you find that coin?

We need a 1726! (otherwise someone here has to buy? )

Bump...

I have many going into the 1500s but no 1726

Both previously posted to this board:



Russia 1726 silver grivna (grivna = 10 kopeks)


Russia 1726 copper plate grivna

LINK to scale photo for copper plate

Bravo, grivna1726 ... ... nomen est omen!

Thanks bobh, my handle was chosen for these two coins.

Apparently I totally forgot about you Grivna!

REALLY nice coins there! Something I can wish for but will never obtain one until I hit the lottery.

Kudos!! Now maybe we can find Irving1725 LOL

No 1725 here, but I have some others lined up:
1715, 1719, 1722, 1724

1724 and 1717 is all I have. Blah.

May I help?
Austria 3 kreuzer 1725:

1724!

Another 1724 ruble

Here is a german sede vacante medal from Hildesheim dated MDCCXXIV (1724). I love the roman numeral only issues.

Nice coin WCG.


Gxseries, I picked up my first 5 kopek today 1766 in Vg-F ish condition. Thought you might appreciate that.

Three very nice 1724's. Moving right along to 1723...



Ready for a 1722. And standing by with nice 1712 and 1707...

Nice piece hiho! Now this thread is really picking up speed.

1722 - Swiss taler from Zurich

Excellent!
Now I am biding my time until 1710 ... I have a nice Russian 1 kopek error coin with "WD" mintmark instead of "MD" of that year. After that, I know that I have a fairly common French "dernier" (sp ... ??) of either 1703 or 1704, but I have no picture of it and the coin is in the bank's SDB. Maybe I can get it out in a week or two and post a picture of it here ... by that time, we will have (hopefully) moved into that time period here.

I hope you didn't slip a disk picking it up ... those things are HEAVY!

(Sometimes I wonder if kids used to throw those off a bridge at an oncoming horse-drawn carriage back in those days ... )

Haha, yes it is by far the largest copper I own. All I need is a 2pence cartwheel and I have two of the heaviest (That I know of) coins ever made. (Except plates and other non-coin numismatic items)

I would imagine that it would kill the horse btw, lol. It's like a tiny sewer cover!

1722 jeton of Burgundy

Ninteno's duck hunt was my first thought

1721. Spanish 2 Reales. Bad Photography.

1720 ruble, Cyrillic date:

That is a tough issue to find these days gxseries.

This is one of the favorites in my collection. It is a 1 year sede vacante issue taler from the german state of Paderborn. It was issued to commemorate the death of the bishop in 1719.

Nice taler, I can't add mine until 1586 though...or was it thaler then....dno. Anyway I have a 1717, anyone for 18?

Another beautiful taler, you have quite a remarkable collection there WCG. Every coin I have seen is a winner.

Ready with 1712 and 1707 gold. Scanned and already uploaded to Photobucket.

Who has our 1718?

Well I do have a coin of 1718 but it was from a bulk buy so it's a bit crusty... But if helps my fellow coinpeople!




I've got 1713, 1711, 1710 ready!!

1717 2 reale....I'm out until like 1660 lol.

Crusty coins count YeOlde, in fact they are encouraged, as long as we can read the date...

Well struck 1717 2-Reale VFox, see you in fifty years!

Onto 1716...

Here you go...

grivna1716 - that is another amazing coin. Tough to find anything like that in todays market I imagine.

Here is my last contribution for a few years to come. Its a 1715 sede vacante taler from the german city state of Osnabruck. Its a 1 year issue struck to commemorate the death of the bishop. I really fell in love with these sede vacante pieces.
