Message:: [QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3843514, member: 83845"][ATTACH=full]1019777[/ATTACH] Welcome to the final round of Guess the CTer 2019.  To get caught up on the game and to review the clues to the possible prizes please check out the master thread. <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-guess-the-cter-2019-master-thread.349004/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancients-guess-the-cter-2019-master-thread.349004/">[Ancients] Guess the CTer (2019) Master Thread</a> Coin #5 [ATTACH=full]1019778[/ATTACH] AnonymousAR Victoriatus, mint in SicilyDia.: 17 mmWt.:  3.3 gm Why I added it to my collectionThese coins were made to trade with the Greek allies of Rome starting in the late 3rd century BC.  They were often made to a lower standard of style and metal quality compared to the denarius of the day.  This example is not high grade but has an interesting fabric.  The flan shows signs of being cast in a two part mold that was slightly misaligned.  This is characteristic of many of the early classical and archaic coins of Sicily, where this coin is thought to have been minted. How the Game WorksThe object of the game is pretty simple: Guess which CT member the above coin belongs to out of the five participating members. [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER][USER=97383]@Al Kowsky[/USER][USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER][USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER][USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] This is the 5th of 5 total game threads. After I post all coins and allow for three days time for each thread I will hold a drawing to select 5 winners from those who played the game. Participants can earn multiple chances to win based on the following rules.<ol> <li>Guess who the owner of the coin is and give a reason why you think that. (Ex.: I believe that this coin belongs to Curtisimo because he owns pink socks and thinks a toboggan is a hat.) This is the minimum requirement for entry into the drawing. Please include a reason with your guess!</li> <li>Anyone who posts a photo of an ancient coin along with their guess (related or not) will receive an extra chance to win.</li> <li>Anyone who gives a particularly well thought out or amusing reason why you guessed a certain person will receive an extra chance to win.</li> <li>Anyone who guesses correctly will receive an extra chance to win.</li> <li>Anyone who is a young numismatist (age 18 or younger) will receive an extra chance to win. If you are a YN please say so in your entry post.</li> </ol>In total there can be up to 5 chances to win for each member in each thread! A Note to the VolunteersIf you would like to follow along with the results of the poll feel free to vote for yourself. A Note to Poll VotersThe poll option is intended just for fun.  If you wish to have your guesses counted for the game or to be eligible for the prizes please comment in the below thread per the above. The 5th Round ChallengeSince this is the last of our 5 rounds I invite all of you to reevaluate your previous guesses if you choose to do so and try to match all 5 coins with their owner in this round.
