    What a blessing and beginning of a great journey for your granddaughter.
    Prayers in dealing with the animals and the cold. Friends and clients lost much a couple of years ago here in Texas. We were woefully unprepared.
    Merry Christmas and thank you.

    I want it. I like the ghosting effect on the reverse, that its silver, and the patina is unique. It would make a nice Christmas Gift for my neighbor.

    Not much silver in this one, but I will roll out a true silver coin for Round 8.

    I want this. I’m going to pass it to my nephew if I’m lucky enough to win. I don’t have kids so my collection will go to nieces and nephews who shows interest in coins. My nephew is very interested in history so I’m introducing him to history thru coins.

    Now we come to...

    ROUND 6.

    The prize is a Roman quarter-follis (Æ3) of the emperor Maximian, struck circa 305 AD. The reverse features the Genius of the Roman people (GENIO POPVLO ROMANI). It was struck at Siscia, which is now Sisak in modern Croatia.

    Here is the Wildwinds page (scroll down to Siscia RIC VI 146).

    Perhaps our ancient coin experts can chime in with further information about this coin.

    To enter this round, all you need to do is:

    1. Say that you want it, and
    2. A word or two about why you want it or what you like about it.

    If you do not want the coin for yourself, you may enter on someone else's behalf. Simply name the person you would like to have it if your entry wins the drawing.

    Then, sometime in the next 1-3 days or so, we'll do the drawing and move on to the next round. This round is open for entries until such time as I announce the drawing.

    You may follow the progress of the contest in the...
