    What are your parameters?

    I collect coins of Henneberg (in several flavors, Henneberg-Ilmenau being the most commonly encountered), a German state. I don't see it listed, nor any variation.


    Edit: I also collect Moldavia & Wallachia, and don't see it here either.

  • gummibeargummibear Posts: 786 ✭✭✭
    I don't see Confederate States & Hawaii.
    What is the list for?

    20th Century countries that minted some sort of coin (Be it collector or comerce).

    Did Hawaii issue any coins in the past 109 years? I do not see them in the world coins (9th edition) that I have here infront of me...



    BTW I have this in excel.

    No, the Hawaiian coins date from the 1800's. The Hawaii overprint banknotes might count, but you're only interested in COIN-issuing entities, I assume.

    I think you've pretty much got all of them, especially if you're working off the Krause index; all of the others mentioned in the thread so far are either pre-20th century or unrecognised states.
    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

  • Faroe Islands, coins issued during British Occupation during WWII.

    I realise the spelling of Faroe differs on your side of the pond.

    Great list, did you just use Krause, or other sources as well.

    Just Krause, I had help typing the list then I moved it all from word to excel, then added about 2000 hyperlinks... This workbook was developed in 2002... It turned out to be to labor intensive (Not building it, actually using it...lol).

    Dan,
    Well, starting in 2003 the powers to be saw fit to put me in Iraq on three occasions. 2003-2004 (12 Months), 2005-2006 (12 Months), 2007-2009 (15 Months). In between this time, I attended a few schools at three months a piece and I changed uty stations (I went to Fort Polk, then back to Fort Campbell). During this time, I had very little time for my hobbies... sadly, most of my collection is still in storage and I havn't even seen it in over two years.

    I am currently trying to refocus my collection as I am all over the place these days, we are also trying to meet a financial goal that my wife and I would like to do. Hopefully soon, I will have that collection link back up, but most likely not to soon image

    Thanks for remembering,
    Ray

    Add Lundy and you have to start adding all the other unrecognised states coins too, like Hutt River Province, Sealand, Atlantium, Nova Roma, etc.. Krause pulled Lundy out of the mainstream catalogue some years ago, to be consistent. Order of Malta is another borderline-legitimate "country" recently pulled from the mainstream Krauses.

    Ray, it's nice to see that the old 20th century list is still in use. I remember lots of email exchanges refining it and correcting many small typos, dates, overlaps etc. I remember kuhli and Tbird helped me figure out a few ambigous things/periods. Of course, since it was written before the end of the century (pre-euro even)...it needed applicable updates to bring it to completion. I had taken the list as far as I was going to when I sent it to Ray for incorporation into his many ideas for using it.

    The main list was compiled straight from Krause, in Krause order, at the time of that current edition. It took many hours (over many sessions) with a book opened on the left side of my desk, and the keyboard off to the right. My initial list did not include monetary reforms, regime changes, occupation type issues, or NCLT. Those were added as my collection grew to the point where I could no longer easily obtain coins for the main set. I wanted more coins to chase, and I simply chose to expand the set wide open and make it a comprehensive/huge one for the 20th century.

    How the list was compiled should explain why certain German States, India Princely States, Chinese Provinces are or are not included on it. It also did not include Fantasy issues (Avraam, Sealand, etc.). Other issues that were not included were "gold only" issues, and certain coins where the mintage figures alone would preclude you from finding them available for purchase.

    The list was not written to be 100% accurate as far as all issues/issuers, but was written as a useable/reasonable guide to assist people in working on their own OFECs.

    People have asked questions regarding the included dates for certain entries, and were concerned that the dates were not exact as far as historical record. The dates were simply added to ensure that if you purchased a coin within the range listed...that the coin would fit that period and country involved (without regard to denomination or composition).

    I had set out to build a comprehensive OFEC collection, and the 20th century portion itself filled 4 large, double row, 12" dealer stock boxes. I haven't actively worked on this set for years now, and had reached the point where I simply couldn't find certain TOUGH coins (Spain Civil War issuers, some Leprosarium issues, a few India, China, German toughies) when I stopped.

    Working on the OFEC was much fun, but maintaining/organizing it at that level was much work.

    As a sidenote, I'm now living in Myrtle Beach, SC. I haven't touched my coins or books since I moved, but plan on attending the 1 day show here on May 2nd...any Darksiders planning on attending? If so, shoot me a PM. I'm always down for lunch and drinks with Darksiders.
