    milestone contest

    i thought i would hold a contest in honor of my newest coin. i have wanted a coin minted in b.c. times for quite a while, and i finally got one!! all you have to do is guess what kind of coin it is. example- "roman" would not be specific enough. "roman denarius" would be. got it? this contest is open to anyone who has been a member for more than a month. the winner will receive 2 buffalo nickels:

    ...and this one belongs to the reds!

    Heck, I'll give it a shot and I don't know much about ancients. Lets say Augustus Silver Cistophorus?
