This is an interesting group. If you post a really rare coin or a best known specimen it gets no votes but common items in good condition do well.  dougsmit => that is because you are merely too good at this game!! Half of the SMACKDOWN contestants seem to be voting primarily on eye-appeal, probably because we don't know a tenth of the history that you know about each of the coins being posted (it's a bit of a curse being as well informed and as well-written as yourself) ... Oh, and the slippery comment was merely another poorly received sarcastic joke of mine (my bad) ... you rock!!  Edited by stevex6

For me it's all about the eye appeal unless it involves one of the one type that I know a little bit about (Constantine posthumous). That's why I voted gold for that one; it wasn't necessarily the best or most valuable coin in this round, but it is an exceptional specimen of the type.

Well, I kind of think of these SMACKDOWN events being a bit like watching the Miss Universe Pagents ... => sure, the girls may have to perform in the talent portion of the competition, but 10 times outta 10, the girl that performs well in the bathing suit competition is gonna be somewhere near the top, while the chick that nailed her bag-pipe routine may not be found in the final grouping ... I'm just sayin' |

NOTE => there are only 1.25 hours until Batman's new/revised voting deadline!! => 8pm, Eastern ... ValiantKnight, augustus1 and MartiVltori are the only three remaining contestants who've entered a coin, but haven't voted yet (well, maridvnvm too, but he stated that he was going on vaction so he won't be voting) ... SIDENOTE => Benbyfield and echizento didn't enter a coin, but voted which is not only appreciated, but totally encouraged!! => the more votes, the better! => so again => there are now only "68" more minutes to vote for your favorite coin (mmmm, just look at those bathing beauties!!)

Ummm, what are some possible coin topics?
- snakes?
- eagles? (have we had that already?)
- suckling twins?
- time period between this and that?
- coins with Victory or Nike?
- coins with Zeus, Apollo, Athena, Roma, Jupiter, or whoever?
... what else?

Already posted the next one Steve. Thought (also) that Victory/Nike is a subject large enough to include most of us.

NVM I found where you guys agreed to change it. Didn't have time to keep up with the thread so I missed it.
