<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 6595934, member: 97383"]When I entered this contest I had no hope of winning since I know so little about the <b>CT </b>members who submitted coins for this contest. If I manage to guess even one coin correctly in this contest I'll be happy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Parthicus seems to be the natural & obvious choice for coin #5, & it appears most <b>CT</b> members are voting that way. One thing I've learned in my long life journey is the obvious isn't always the correct choice. For that reason I'm not changing any of my votes & picking Parthicus for coin #5 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Instead I'm sticking with <b>Cucumbor</b>, my last remaining choice <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. <b>Q</b> is smart enough to toss out a <u>red herring</u> like this coin to deceptively steer us the wrong way <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My reasoning may be convoluted & confused <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but that's my choice. The coin pictured below is one of my favorite Greek coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1265838[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Greece, Seleukis & Pieria, Autonomous, Dated Year 18 (92/91 BCE).
