<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 6439802, member: 19463&quot;]Last year when I was a volunteer, I went to a lot of trouble rephotographing my entry so it would not look like I shot the photo.&nbsp; This year, I&#039;m not a volunteer and have no idea what coin I could be sure I have not used in the last ten years.&nbsp; If I were a volunteer, I&#039;d be tempted to cheat since the last coin I bought about two months ago no longer belongs to me.&nbsp; Going back earlier in the history of my collecting for the bonus qualifying coin I will post the coin holding my catalog number 0001.&nbsp; It was not my first coin but it was the first in the Greek first sequence of the coin I had back in 1987 when I did my first computer catalog requiring I number the coins then in my collection.&nbsp; I bought this one sometime before that (but not long before that) at a coin show in New Carrolton MD which is a place I doubt I could find anymore but then had some really nice local coin shows.&nbsp; It is an AR hemidrachm from Elis and part of the Achaean League series (my few Greeks were alphabetical in 1987).&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1255078[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll bet you thought I was going to forget to enter by saying whose coin this is.&nbsp; You almost were right.&nbsp; I guess #1 belongs to Cucumbor because it is a nice coin and he is a fine gentleman of excellent taste.&nbsp; Note how I dissed the four other volunteers. Sorry, guys.&nbsp; You might be fine gentlemen, too, but for the purpose of this guess, I am giving this honor to Q.&nbsp; The coin does not fit my idea of what Q collects so that suggests he might be quite likely the guilty party.&nbsp; My only decision now is whether I should select Q for the next four as well guaranteeing a 20% score.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just thought: May I claim the YN bonus if I show a coin I bought when I was a YN?&nbsp; I still own three I had before I was graduated from high school in 1964.&nbsp; This Julia Domna is one.&nbsp; Can&#039;t blame a guy for trying???</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1255089[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
