<p>[QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 391124, member: 9204"]Sorry I took so long to get this last one up, but here it goes. This round is going to go slightly different than the last. Rather than just putting up a picture and making you ID from that, I'm going to give a complete description, or at least as complete as I can get. Plus, you will have FOUR coins to choose from! Whats the catch, you ask? These are coins that I haven't found an attribution for these yet. Whoever sends me what I deem to be an accurate attribution wins the round. Above all, BE PRECISE! And, as usual, PM me with the answers. </p><p> </p><p>1.
