Amazing Severus @Sallent but we are on Victorinus.

 

=> Big Vic

 

This is the finest bust I've ever collected of Victorinus on an ant. It is every bit as well-carved as the busts you see on his few aureii...

 

Ummm, do you still own this baby? ... it's a sweetie

(yah, my only chance is to have you eliminated)

Maybe have a contingency if 5 entries aren't received, say if someone posts a Valerius Valens. Probably won't happen but you never know.

 

Damn. Gotta watch your kneecaps around here.

 

A Victorinus from me too then....

Time to vote! Very nice Alegandron, pic is a bit small, but I'm for JA.

 

mine is.

 

My editing skills are atrocious.

It is a great coin, but punt mine for my photography and editing skills.

 

That's OK. My photography skills are worse than atrocious.

 

The coin I posted sold a few weeks ago, I believe to Collecting Nut, just so you know.

 

My apologies @John Anthony for not including #5 sooner. We need another Vic.

 

You probably would get more participation and a better final result if you asked for submissions larger (up to full size of the coin) and did the crop and resize work all at one time by one person who could then match sizes and cropping more closely. I'd probably prefer a collage using full obverses allowing people to read the names from legends but that is a call for the artist doing the paste up work, not for kibitzers like me. You will also cut participation by limiting to 5 inputs since it takes time to do the special cropping you require and there are bound to be people who start working on one only to find they were too slow. I'd suggest asking for a number (5-10?) of different ones over a set period (2 days-week) rather than one at a time so submitters can work on more than one at a sitting and not miss out on those due at an inconvenient time. Again it is just kibitzing from someone with poor chances for participation.

 

Agreed. Rather than a having a number of coins accepted lets have a set time to submit them. Participation is easy, chances of winning are slim for me too.
