OK voting closed and result is in!
Such a good selection of coins, I wasn't sure whether the host should vote (and only would have done if there was a tie) but my favourites where DVcollectors amazing Sicily Syracuse, Maridvunums Aeolis Tetradrachm and Fvrivs Rvfuvs's Dupondius... and what a Dupondius it is (rare for me to find a Roman coin that is as aesthetically pleasing as a Greek)
GOLD - Furius Rufus - Trajan Dupondius
SILVER - Chrismat - Valens
Bronze - Valient Knight - Libius Severus
In total 13 coins received votes, all were good coins but it was a tough competition with a varied selection of fine pieces. Nice provenance to some of the coins and some unusual pieces from all corners of the Ancient world.
Good job all!!
IF Furius Rufus is happy to run the next smackdown I will hand over to him///

Thank you very very much. I greatly appreciate the 'Great Honor' you have shown to my dear old friend Trajan. As a very recent member to the Forum I feel hardly adequate to the task of running a "Smackdown". My area of concentration (for over 20 years) has been collecting Roman Imperial bronze issues to the exclusion of most everything else, I would feel much more comfortable as a spectator for awhile longer. If this is allowed I will happily decline the honor and pass to someone more capable. This was my first 'Smackdown' and I am still somewhat unsure of the nature of it all.

Congratulations to all the winners. FR your Trajan coin was fantastic and I look forward to seeing more of your collection. Maybe chrstmat71 or VK might want to run the next one.

Since Rufus passed I guess the honour should be deferred to Chrsmat. What do you say?
