Guest Stujoe Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Still trying to firm up category break-down ideas. So far, two full suggestions have been posted: Changing it to a time based breakdown. 1) Ancient BC-500AD 2) Medieval 500-1500 3) 16/17th century 4) 18th century 5) 19th century 6) 1901-1949 7) 1950-present 8) Exnuwhatsit. and A slightly expanded version of the normal breakdown: US - Gold - Silver - Copper - Other World - Gold - Silver - Copper - Other Ancient (Break it down into Roman, Greek, etc if needed) Exonumia (Break it down into tokens, medals, etc if needed) What thinks you all?

Art Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I voted for option #1. I'm assuming the number of entries is actually the multiple. So if ancients is very popular there may be 16 entries - not 8. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Oli Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 By far I prefer the first category. This way it pits both Us and non-Us coins against each other throughout the competition, whereas before they were somewhat "protected". Time based gets my vote.

banivechi Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Time based category. It is hard to choose between Athenian Owl and Churchill Crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if ancients is very popular there may be 16 entries - not 8. Is that correct? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I took out the number of entries as the numbers will be solely based upon how many coins are entered...keeping in mind that the total for any category has to be one of the following: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. 1, 2, and 4 would probably be pretty nonsensical but once the entries are called for, the categories will already be set in stone.

akdrv Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I voted for Time based. It would be interesting to see a mix of copper, gold, US and world in one category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I also voted time based. I have some reservations about how it will play out with entries but it is different and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Am I correct to assume that all commems, proofs, odd metals will be included in the same date category? What exactly would go in the whatchamacallit category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzy452 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 The first one (time based) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I am figuring Exonumia is just tokens, medals, medalions, etc but I am not sure what he exactly had in mind... What i meant by that, firstly things such as medals, dies, tokens, wooden nickels anything. Although the main reason i stuck that there is for coins where the date is not clear. I'm thinking of things like gaming tokens and restrikes here. Maria Theresa Thalers restrikes... where would you put them? 18th century (since that's where the design originated) or 20th century when it may have been struck? Also i have a fake ducat and a George III 1762 gambling token imitation guinea. The ducat is most likely from the 20th century, and the imitation guinea is from the 19th century most likely. This is why i stuck the exnu... category. Sometimes it's not as clear as it might first seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I also voted time based. I have some reservations about how it will play out with entries but it is different and interesting. You know what the saying for PCI is Stu... "just go for it". If we had not experiemented in the first place then the idea would still be on the shelf. What you got to lose? Try it, give it a whirl... if it's a bad idea just don't do it again. PCI6 can soon go back to the old tried system. If it were me i'd jump in both feet first, then find out if it's deep enough. One thing is for sure it can't be worse than PCI-1!

Guest Stujoe Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 It certainly looks like time based is going to be the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not put it up earlier because I was hoping to get an actual photo rather than a scan, but it has not happened. Shiny silver just comes out too glaring in scans.

Tiffibunny Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 If it makes you feel any better I really need those Danzig coins. And you could be a Dear and add them to the thread I have started in the World Coin Museum for Danzig coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
