2. You must answer the question before the time runs out.

3. You only get one shot. Make your first answer count. The first wrong answer places you out of the contest.

4. We will go as many rounds as it takes until we have the final two. They will be in the championship round.

Round 2 answer:

coin #3



Round 3 Questions:

1. Tell me the story behind the "Widow's Mite".

2. Who was the youngest Emperor in the "crisis and decline" era of the roman empire?

3. Fire hoard coins sell for a premium. (True or False?)

4. Who was the first emperor to stop minting Denarius? Due to the confusion, I have decided to take this question (#4) out.

Darnit! I almost said #3. And I already know the answer to #1 in this round
Oh well. Good luck to the people still in it. Thanks for the opportunity stainless.

 

I almost picked 3 because it was the only one I could enlarge. I thought it was a trick though. Thanks for the contest and good luck to the rest.

 

That last one was tough, but I see where #3 is the fake, #2 is what threw me through a loupe though. (pun intended, and yes I know the two words are spelled different. ) Thanks for the contest stainless, it was fun! Good luck to the rest of you guys! :thumb:

That is so real, I almost picked no.3 but put 1 instead. Good luck for the ones that made it to round 3.

 

good luck guys.

 

good luck guys, oh well 75% chance of being wrong, and I was.

 

Me too Frank.....good luck to all of you survivors.

 

Would you kindly elaborate on the last question? Do you mean the last emperor to issue a denarius? Or the first to not issue a denarius? Do you mean the last to issue a silver denarius?

 

Omg I Made It!!! XD

 

the king cannot be beaten. you guys are lucky that the time is with you and not with me.

 

yes, that is what I meant. Sorry, the last to issue a silver Denarius, and the first emperor after him to not issue it anymore.
