<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3165909, member: 19463&quot;]The coin Curtisimo mentioned was my one and only ex SteveX6 coin, a ~500 BC tetratemorion? (7mm .24g) of Kyzikos with a lot of detail considering its tiny size.&nbsp; I had decided not to use it because I paid too much per .01g and it could never beat cheaper and larger, more glamorous coins.&nbsp; Few people realize that this coin was the prototype of modern guitar picks (2500+ years before the invention of the electric guitar) and was used by the original group Hot Tuna (who knows that name?).&nbsp; It just seemed unfair to use something with such history and the Canadian connection. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]813754[/ATTACH] </p><p>The coin I decided to use may or may not be eligible for next year so it will remain hidden except to say that I believe both Zumbly and TIF have coins similarly provenanced which would add a lot to the numismatic interest of a really cheap coin.&nbsp; I hope the rules next year will not limit us to new purchases.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Congratulations to Z.&nbsp; Woe to whoever has to face him next.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
