@dprince1138--Here are the rules created over the years by @Idhair, the author of this topic, as I understand them. He should correct me if I'm wrong.
1. Except as stated below, each photo of a coin must be followed by a photo of any coin or token of the same date or any coin of the same type. A "type" includes subtypes, so, for example, a Liberty Seated half dollar may be followed by any other Liberty Seated half dollar, whether with or without motto, with or without drapery, or with or without arrows or arrows and rays.
2. Early types may also be followed by photos of other early coins of the same denominations, so that, for example, a photo of a half cent may be followed by a photo of any other half cent, without regard to type. Other such early types include large cents and Draped and Capped Bust types. (I advise that the full range of such types be listed.)
3. Gold is "wild", meaning that a photo of a gold coin may also be followed by a photo of another gold coin of any type.
4. Tokens are also "wild", meaning that a photo of a token may be followed by a photo of any other token, as well as a photo of any coin with the same date.
5. Though perhaps never explicitly stated, you should allow at least one other member to post a coin after posting one yourself. Although your post of an excessively worn 1877-S Seated quarter was permissible, you should not have posted the photo of an 1877-S half dollar without allowing another member to post in response.
It appears based on early pages of the thread that foreign coins and tokens are allowed, although they usually do not appear here.
The last coin posted having been dated 1867, here are photos of an 1867 Liberty Seated dime graded PR 62 by PCGS, although as it is clearly from the F-102 (Greer 103) dies, it should have been classified as a circulation strike:
The next coin can be any Liberty Seated dime (legend or stars obverse) or any coin dated 1867.
Doesn’t really bother me too much. I have one particular example that has some pretty heavy polish lines. Can’t really stand the fingerprints. I have too many of those.
