    A few comments for @Theodosius !
    1. You are awesome and this giveaway is hilarious
    2. Great collection of Gordis!
    3. I like your plate design
    4. That sandwich looks yummy
    5. Great quality group photo. All coins are identifiable which is no small feat considering some have a hard time with just one coin!
    6. Very generous of you!

    Some real nice coins there. Gotta hand it to Gordie - he struck a lot of coins in his six year reign with tremendous output.

    Here are the people who have correctly guessed which coin does not belong, because it is not a "roach".

    1: Aethelred
    2: GeraldV
    3: RandyGeki
    4: H8_Modern
    5: Caesar_Augustus
    6: Severus_Alexander
    7: Roman_Collector
    8: Justin_Lee
    9: Orange_Julius
    10: ValiantKnight
    11: SeptimusT

    Here is a hint to help others out: the non-roach is not one of the bronzes. This is not a hard contest, so don't overthink it. Don't be shy about entering, if you win and would prefer to send the coin to another CoinTalker, maybe someone just starting out, then I am fine with that. :)

    I have decided to give away three of the coins in the contest. The first person drawn by random number generator (www.random.org) will get first pick, the second person drawn will get second pick, etc.

    If you are a winner, then tell us the number of the coin you want, and why you picked it. Use these photos to determine the coin numbers:

    The first winner will be announced in the next post. Once they have picked their coin, I will select another winner.
