    Nice Nerva! My only coin of Nerva so far was this bronze As in my first Roman collection. It also featured the CONCORDIA EXERCITVVM "handshake" reverse.

    Thanks for that vintage chuckle. I had forgotten about Three Amigos.

    Poor Penny baby indeed has a boo-boo on her nose. We're not sure what caused it- it was bleeding a little the other night, but is improving. We're still nursing her. She's reportedly the only survivor from her litter (We also fostered her little brother, Benny, but he did not make it, I'm afraid. He was always rather sickly and frail.) :(

    Happily, Penny seems to be doing OK, and has always had a bit of spunkiness to her. :cat: We're looking forward to fattening her up and watching her grow and thrive, hopefully. It'll probably hard to relinquish her for adoption once the time comes, but that's the deal with these foster kittens, who we take in on behalf of No Kill Glynn County.

    We've already got a dozen permanent cats and three dogs in our menagerie, so we're pretty much "maxed out", but by fostering some of these rescues, we've always got kittens in the house. They're so much fun. The last foster pair, Mork & Mindy, were delightful, and have since gone on to their "forever" homes, having been rather quickly adopted through NKGC.

    Indeed, that is the correct answer to the mini-trivia question in the introduction!

    I've been known to be something of a connoisseur of bad puns myself. Get that from my father. My Dad is the king of "dad jokes", and I've carried on the tradition, despite much eye-rolling from my daughter.

    Entry post, I'm liking the coin from Ukraine, colorized, cameo and an Angel. What's not to like.

    Cool.

    BTW, if anybody wants to do what @beaver96 just did- that is, get two entries in the contest by posting one here on CoinTalk and another one in the tandem thread on Collectors Universe (if you're also a member over there), that's a legitimate method of doubling your chances in the drawing. Just one entry per member per site, is all.

    Thanks, Lord Marcovan.

    I would absolutely love coin #11. I was fortunate enough to visit Nuremburg a few summers ago and I loved the city. I also love math, so... double win.

    Entry post -- same choice and rationale as last time, but with the number updated:

    If this entry is selected, I would like #24, the 1923 Mexican peso. I started actively collecting coins recently instead of just setting aside anything that looks neat. My first goal to put together a set of New World crown-size silver coins. Doing so might take a while on my budget as a student, but that will make the project's completion all the more satisfying. I have some other (newer) Mexican coins mixed into my current "collection," and I think Mexico has a very consistent track record of minting beautiful coins. This one is no exception. Good luck everyone!

    Oho! Sounds like a similar situation to ours, then. Quite a few of our permanent contingent here at “Shinnicks’ Funny Farm” (presently 12 cats + 3 dogs) were “foster fails” who have stayed on.

    We have everybody spayed and neutered except Penny (and Nigella the feral forest cat, who’d be impossible to touch, let alone capture).

    Amazing you’ve had some live more than 20 years. Our longest-lived so far was 14-15 years, though most of our cats spend the majority of their time outdoors, so some misadventures and disappearances have happened.

    Fortunately we live on more than an acre of land out in the country, so we can support a larger population than we could if we were in a more urban environment.

    Entry Post. Thanks for the great contest! It is a hit with me! (swidt?) #24 resonates with me, Mexican gold and silver always catch my eye and this one looks very nice.

    #26. I have fondness for GB coins, but any would be a great coin. Wish I had thought to name my pups after coins, but instead chose the Queen's homes for names - for my corgis of course!
