See if you can guess why I bought this one. ;) (Aside from the fact that I also like those early O-mints with the mintmark inside the wreath)...
Note to self: include some Morlon French pieces in a giveaway soon. I've got a multi-pound lot of French stuff, chock full o' stuff like that.
Nothin' wrong with that, I reckon. I bought my Dad one of those, about 15 years ago.
Trouble is, I have no way of knowing who that is. But we'll cross that bridge if we get to it. I certainly know of some younger CT members.
Thanks for the updates, y'all. So we're really just waiting for word on the Round 11 prize, and then I can lock this one down for the archives....
I'll take it! You got farther than I would have! LOL
Thank you, but you give me a teensy bit too much credit. I can also be a grouchy old man type, particularly if you happen to be exhibiting any...

Good on you, @BuffaloHunter.
Like our Round 3 prize coin, that was also struck in billon, as I just learned from the Wikipedia article. I never thought of the US wartime...
Now we come to... ROUND 3. The prize is a Roman antoninianus of the emperor Carinus, struck in billon. It was minted in Antioch circa 283-284...
And lo, I have been revealed to be a prophet. LOL Call me Nostradamus. Nah, don’t. ;)
It's time for the Round 2 drawing. Our lucky number was... 59! [ATTACH] And Post #59 was by... me! On behalf of @masterswimmer....
