    Yeah, that is one crazy stunner! Your obverse of this type is just unbeatable. And I'm also kinda jealous of your pony's star cutie mark :D.

    That's an interesting idea. If there were interest from the participants I would certainly be willing to post it?! Although I think at the end it would need to be a four person podium with the following "medals"

    1. Gold
    2. Electrum
    3. Silver
    4. Bronze
    :D

    Yeah, if I recall correctly the die was first used sans star, and then again after the star was added. Bonus cool points.

    My poor owl has been tsunamied !!!
    I'll have to have a serious conversation with my wife about how she chooses her gifts to me :D (Just joles, I love her and the coin :))

    Hah, Q... make no mistake, you have a fantastic wife and Owl. I already have a terrific wife of my own, but when I get an Owl, I'd be over the moon if it were as nice as yours.

    This was a very entertaining match between two of our finalist. Thankfully we will get to see both coiners back for one more round!

    Results:

    @zumbly: 101 (WINNER)
    @Cucumbor: 69

    The voters loved the history of Qs iconic tet and gave roughly equal score for value. The eye appeal category was enough to swing the match in zumbly's favor.

    zumbly will face the winner of our other semifinal to decide our new Imperator and Q will face off in a match to decide the final order of the final 4.

    Thanks everyone!

    Phew! Thanks to Q for the matchup that I've enjoyed the most so far. Your owl is a truly awesome coin that I remain envious of.
