<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bcuda, post: 6640490, member: 105389&quot;][USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER] you only got one right but it was right on ! You killed it when you said (I&#039;m going to guess <b>bcuda</b> on this coin because of a thread he posted on January 4, 2021. In that thread he wrote <b>&quot;I had only seen pictures of them (folles) in books when I first started in ancients but never realized how large they really were until I found one metal detecting when I lived in Spain.&quot; </b>Coin #3 sure looks like a metal detecting find <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>I have always loved a large green&nbsp; bronze and it is just like I found it metal detecting from over 30 years ago. I had so much fun finding this coin and I could still take you to within about 25ft from where I found it and that is the reason I would never let it go.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER]&nbsp; You Sir are the Gentleman not me! ( I&#039;m going for bcuda too... because he is just the sort of gentleman to have an attachment to a Severus Alexander bronze acquired many years ago!)</p><p>I thank you for the compliment and the correct pick !</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER] I guess my deception factor did not stump you and your prediction engine .&nbsp; I loved your response : We can confidently rule out the first choice as &quot;invalid option&quot; and I guess I have another insect to track down in the coming days. As we can see from this thread - human intelligence has surpassed the bot in both speed and accuracy. Despite the unsurprising outcome, I have selected <b>[USER=105389]@bcuda[/USER]</b> as the owner of <b>Coin #3</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>[USER=104741]@Ignoramus Maximus[/USER] and you picking me was the best of all cause you couldn&#039;t find any blue socks in the drawers earlier this afternoon.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] and your detector theory was spot on Doug !</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=15481]@svessien[/USER] your comment was the most correct of all one of all, yes I had a lot more flashy coins to chose from but this one gave me the most pleasure with the memory of me finding it. : (This must be [USER=105389]@bcuda[/USER]&nbsp; Why? It’s a modest coin from a sympathetic emperor, fitting well with the collector; a modest and sympathetic man who prefers to present a fond memory rather than a flashy coin)</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] I would like to thank you for letting me be a part of this contest. It seems I was the easiest one to chose from according to all the correct guesses. I would like to donate something to the next contest whenever you decide to do another one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
