Gold - DavidUKs M. Aburius Geminus AR Denarius - Absolutely love it.

Silver - augustus1s Probus facing quadriga - Beautiful.

Bronze - Stevex6s Florian - Shocked he was only 96th on one of the two Rarity Lists!

Thanks to all who entered - loved seeing the coins.

Special mention to jw for having 3 'almosts' and Eddop/echizento/Jango for making me want to get back into collecting 3rd C radiates full time again
