Hello everyone, its been nearly 1 year and 2000 posts since I joined - my first post was to ask for help with my first ancient coin (and also a sterling opportunity to make an butt of myself).

Well, I've got a lot from this forum and its time to give back.

This shall be a good ol' game of 20 questions. Only 1 guess per person, so make it a good one. As many Qs as you like, but be fair. To start you off, I'm a coin.

The prizes? Well, we've got $5 off of JCMWorld'd website Website for ancient coins, a set of George VI predecimal coins (well, some of them) and a small spattering of romans. Its not much, but its something!

And anyone who joins in is welcome to a free UK predecimal Penny and Halfpenny if you're willing to cough up the postage.

So off you go, ill try and answer questions as and when.

Am I smaller then 20 mm diameter?

Id be interested in those free predecimal coins. Thats very generous of you! What does shipping average from the UK to the Usa? How are you shipping them?

Do you want us to pm you our guesses or just post them?

Was I minted before 1000 in the Gregorian calendar? Ill assume you mean 1000ACE, Yes
am I a Bronze Drachm? As with all greek coins, funky units abound, I have no idea. It is bronze, its drachm like.

For the Predecimal coins, postage shouldnt be too much if I can whack them in an envelope (I think its a couple of quid). Just PM me and ill thrash out some details.
