My bad. Let's leave the mathing to the pros like @Curtisimo. (Unless he says I'm wrong. )

 

Uh oh... you started me on math jokes. This could turn into a looong thread

 

My grandson has that T shirt. He also attended the OWL finals in Brooklyn last weekend. Did you notice I was only the most recent violation of our recently discussed need to be clear what we agree with when we say, "I agree"? I agree with a lot of what was said except the parts that I disagree with but it makes no difference since each of us currently has the right to vote for three dots and can go back and change later if we wish. All in all, I prefer the system allowing people to vote as they please even if they are so tasteless as to vote the opposite way I do. Value is very much a personal opinion thing. The coins I value most may not be of value to you but that means absolutely nothing since I do not sell the coins that mean the most to me. Some coins that I do not believe any of you will want (meaning it would be a waste to consign them to John Anthony or anyone else) I give away.

I still claim the record for a bargain coin using the low price definition. I have been gifted with several coins over the years including several from CT friends. They were free. Only one was better than that. A show dealer (something of a joker) had a junk coin in his boxes marked "25 cents to you if you take it." I took it and paid 25 cents less for the other coins I was buying. I wish I still had it but I gave it away for a profit of 25 cents.

 

Still time to vote on this close match up! The poll will close in about 5 hours. Every vote could make a difference!

 

I just got my vote in....
It was a split decision, this one will be done to the wire.

Another close match comes to a close.

Results
#13 @frankjg - 81 Winner
#20 @Nicholas Molinari - 74

Nicholas came out ahead in both the eye appeal and interest categories but Frank comes out on top in the bargain category with enough votes to win the match. A big thank you to both of our players.

@frankjg will advance to face @ancientcoinguru in Round 2.

 

That was a fun match-up. @Nicholas Molinari, awesome coin and even better trash talking ;-)

 

Good match! I was hoping to get the chance to gloat, but it will have to wait until next year. You now have the official blessings of Acheloios for the remainder of the tournament!
