[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3594225, member: 83845"]Thanks all for the kind words regarding my new campgate and thanks even more for all the fantastic coins shown so far. In true CT fashion we have added a few more theories to explain this reverse that had somehow been missed by previous scholarship. :D To summarize the coins may also show: [LIST] [*]Sputnik [*]BBQ grills (yum) [*]Water towers used for showering [*]Hot oil pots for dumping on enemy heads (ouch) [/LIST] [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] , thanks for the great comments and the additional references.
