Very cool contest @Theodosius! It took me a lot longer than I thought it would to figure it out, lol. I blame bad eyesight though.

Nice collection of coins also!

 

This is awesome, I never win anything, I have seriously bad luck with contests of any kind.

I will pay it forward with a contest of my own soon.

Thank you Theodosius!

 

Wow! This is awesome thank you so much! This is an insanely tough choice between 7 and 12, it's killing me! I need to think about this for a few minutes.



Thanks,
Jacob

 

Take your time.

You can use a lifeline if you want.

 

Well 9 just got thrown into the equation haha. I'm going to give myself ten minutes to choose because I dont want to make the others wait (I know you say I have time but I would feel badly).

Thanks,
Jacob

 

For my part I say take your time and enjoy the process of picking your coin @Youngcoin , I'm in no hurry.

 

Use a random number generator.

 

Wow... I can't control myself it's past ten minutes and I'm only back down to 7 and 12.


Thanks,
Jacob

 

Both are great... do you want a person standing or sitting in architecture?????

 

Seriously, I think we will enjoy hearing your thoughts. The post office is closed right now anyway.

 

The more I look through the group photo the more I realize how generous this contest is @Theodosius. You couldn't go wrong with any of these coins YC but I'm a sucker for antoniniani because my first coin was of the type and they are nice in hand.

 

@Youngcoin Take your time, I don't think you have to make a split decision.

 

Ok I am going to share my thoughts and let you guys decide

For #7 it is a beautiful ancient coin with the perfect amount of wear and a nice deep dark tone, the reverse is amazing and I have never seen it before and this gives this coin a lot of character that makes me LOVE it.

For #12 it is a archetectual type reverse which I have always been fond of and it is quite a hunk of metal as you can tell it would be a lot easier to show it to people without fear of them dropping it and it sounding under the table where I can't get it... it also shows a lot of character and a nice wear look.

I'll wake up and see what you guys say and who convinces me then I will give info and a short and sweet paragraph on why it is so awesome


Thanks,
Jacob

 

@Youngcoin One of the coins you are considering is also in my top two, if you don't pick it I probably will although I'm close to 50/50 on the two I'm looking at.

 

Jacob, sleep on it... you will figure out which one you will be happier with.

 

That makes me nervous, sorry if I pick your pick.


Thanks,
Jacob

 

The bigger silver coins are always nice.

Just so you have a sense for the scale, because it is hard to tell from the photos, but 13, the bronze from Psidia is 35mm and 24.4 grams. It is a real pondskipper. It would make a good sling bullet.

 

@Youngcoin Here's an idea... figure out if #7 is the red pill or the blue pill compared to #12.... then decide if you are daring and want the red pill or going to be more comfortable with the blue pill.
