tibor123 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hello Everyone, I just found this forum. I will revive an old post that I found interesting. At this time I do not have pics but I do have the following coins with actual dates. They are 1204 Toledo, Spain 1374 Aachen, Germany 1375 Aachen, Germany 1391 Schoonvorst 1402-1405 Aachen, Germany I have over 160+ different coins with dates before 1500 A.D. I also have one complete run of the Hungarian denars 1503-1630. Working on three other runs. When coin collectors show off some of their treasures to non-collectors they are always asked two questions; how much is it worth and how old is it. Since I am not wealthy I can at least show some old coins. I will venture into Greek, Roman and Byzantine as finances allow. I will check back in a few days if there maybe some questions. Happy New Year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alscoinsandnotes Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 g,day I am finding it hard to get it verified as genuine here in Australia, to far removed from the euro bustle I think. regards Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 This'd be my oldest with a certain date. I have an Elizabeth I sixpence, but I haven't nailed down which issue it is yet. I think it's 1571, but I'll hold off posting until I have something certain. 1622 Sigismund III poltorak (1½ grosz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Year!! Very impressive - how long did it take to find the earlier ones? I take they must be a bit of a challenge/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibor123 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hello CCG, I started collecting Aug. 2001. Glenn Schinke from California sold me my first two pieces. I highly recommend Glenn as he is very knowledgeable and friendly. I search auctions and sales. My "Bible" for the early dated coins (pre 1500A.D.) is Bob Levinson's book, extremely well researched and the format is easy to follow. When I find a perspective coin, I bid very strong. The pride of ownership out weighs the "wish I hads". To me the "hunt" is not pleasurable, but extremely annoying. The ones that I listed above are some of my most valuable coins that I own; but not near as expensive as some that I have seen posted on this forum and others. Even the common coins listed in Bob's book only appear at auction every few years. With that said, an 1893-S silver dollar is relatively common. The Hungarian coins are fun to collect as they are relatively cheap ($10-$30 each). Oddly enough, the earlier pieces (pre 1560) come very nice with some patience. The later dates are troublesome. It took me 15 years, starting in the early 1980's to finish the the first run, the other three even longer. I am sorry for the long reply, very few people collect the "Early Dated Coins" so I have a tendency to ramble. I will answer any questions you or the forum might have. Happy New Year to you and all who read this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
