rsraghead Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've always avoided one of them.

ikaros Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 This is my current oldest; it was identified as ca. 1595, but the features seem more consistent with an earlier issue, possibly 1571. Either way, it's the Grand Old Dame of my collection for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsraghead Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 heres an old one I'm trying to get id'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I "think" this is the oldest I own: Ionia, Miletos 1/12th Stater ca. 650 BC. A popular and affordably common very early coin from Asia Minor. I have earlier pieces of money, but they are not coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 This was the Roman Empire's equivalent of the Lincoln cent - by far one of the largest minted bronze coins types. They were struck from around 350 AD to about 361 AD (give or take on each end - I don't remember exactly) ----8<--- snip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiho Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Almost all of my coins date between 1750 - 1950, but here is a Henry V Groat a bit earler than that. Make me an interesting trade offer and it's yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
