What is the accepted begining and end of the 'New Style' Coinage? Is it Thompson's c.196BC or Lewis' c.165?

I read an article by Mattingly (“The Beginning of Athenian New Style Silver Coinage,” Numismatic Chronicle (1990)) which says the coinage began in 164/3. I cannot remember his argument, though.

LOL. Yes I am being held against my will by a group of Beanie Baby collectors. I am being forced to pledge my fealty to their cause. It is causing tremendous psycholgical stress, resulting in my puzzling posts.

Either that, or you missed the spammer who was once again spamming old topics........................under two seperate aliases. I was hoping to enlighten them that their efforts were futile.

And yes it is now tomorrow, the world goes on...............and the spammer and his/her posts are gone. Thank you Bill.

Hope this clarifies everything.

Back to my Beanie Babies.

Thompson's early date has been discredited--she eventually came to that conclusion also. The generally accepted date is 32 years later, although the order of a couple of issues may be changed up or down a year or two.
