<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 6642732, member: 83845&quot;]I can’t believe you never posted this beauty! Now that the game coins have been revealed I am going to post mine until you all get very very tired of it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As I said in my above explanation about the tricky-ness of the volunteers in 2021 I intentionally picked a coin that I thought was a good overlap between my collection and one of the volunteers. Of the coins I have never posted I thought that this one was the best option as it is close to your collection style <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here they are side by side. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1268081[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1268082[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is interesting to think these coins were probably struck in the same place 2300 years ago! Your example is wonderful. I love the reverse especially.&nbsp; I am flattered people thought my coin was yours and that some people thought your beautiful new Electrum was mine.&nbsp; All in all I would have loved to be the owner of any of the 5 and actually do own a very similar coin to [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] ‘s Amisos.&nbsp; All the volunteers have great taste in coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1268086[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I also greatly enjoyed our conversation as the game progressed. It was hard not to drop hints. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I love the breakdown of some of these really great guesses. I too was very surprised at how some members not only connected you to the coin but also correctly guessed that it was an early MD find. It is an hefty, stylish and excellent coin with a nice patina. The story and the fact that you found it, of course, makes it priceless.&nbsp; I especially loved your entry even if several folks were able to connect the dots. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted really badly to play something like this as my entry knowing some guessers might be misdirected to guess you. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1268087[/ATTACH] </p><p>I couldn’t find a suitable coin I hadn’t posted yet though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for volunteering for the game! Thanks also for volunteering to post a prize for a future game. This has been a fun opportunity to interact with you and some other members I haven’t had as much a chance to interact with previously. Good fun and I was glad to have you as a volunteer for the game.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
