It may not be good to use the oldest year. Rather the first year
something came into existence.

"If the copyright duration depends on the date of first publication and the year given in the notice is earlier than the
actual publication date, protection may be shortened by
beginning the term on the date in the notice"
https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ03.pdf

That means if you author something in 2017, and put down say 1999-2017.
You are starting at 1999, and not 2017. Losing 16 years for no reason.
