I've done our drawing, and the lucky number was... 5! [ATTACH] And Post #5 was by @SensibleSal66 ! Coingratulations, Sal. I believe I have...
Neat misalignment.
You probably should have posted this in whatever original thread you're referencing. Here, without context, it's hard to say what we're looking at?
Capped, not "Caped". Fun gift. It's hard not to like Capped Bust coins in any grade. That looks like an ANACS slab?
Now we come to... ROUND 6. The prize is a Roman quarter-follis (Æ3) of the emperor Maximian, struck circa 305 AD. The reverse features the...
Haha! Better put on your lorica segmentata! ;) [ATTACH] Image credit: Wikimedia/Medium69
Time for the drawing for Round 5. Our lucky number was... 146! [ATTACH] And Post #146 was by... @chlorinated ! Coingratulations, @chlorinated...

I just bought this four-coin lot from a member here, at a price I found difficult to refuse. In 46 years of collecting, this will be my first...
Here’s a bonus chance in the drawing for @BurrosCoins’s nephew, then. :)
Belated reply @longshot - I like your Judaea Capta with its colorful cabinet toning. It’s a tad nicer than the one I had in my old Twelve Caesars...
Here’s Osiris on a canopic jar. [ATTACH] Next: an Alexandrian tetradrachm of a different ruler.
Not much silver in this one, but I will roll out a true silver coin for Round 8.
Look at the date on the coin in the pictures above. Something (maybe reflections) makes it look like it says “2319”. Been doing a bit of time...
