Quote: ummm, unless "you yourself" would like to take-over the SMACKDOWN thingy? I'm honored that you would even suggest that I babysit your precious while you're out of town. I'm just not certain I'm the man for the job. I'm not near as entertaining as you and some of the others. I'm just a boring old guy who is tight with his money. My brother says I'm so tight with a penny I make Mr. Lincoln fart (oops, I mean break wind).

Okay, Gil-gilad => that sounds like a plan => I'll do one more (SMACKDOWN #4) and then you can look after the next one and then you can keep going if you'd like, or you could hand-off the ball to whoever wants in, or whoever wins, etc, etc ... awesome!!

Again, I feel guilty having to narrow-down the twenty-five coins to just three measly finalists!! ... but here goes ...
=> I'll start off the voting with following:
Gold = maridvnvm's coin #2 (Ptolemaic w. Eagle)
Silver = dougsmit's coin #1 (Pegasus stater w. Nike Swoosh)
Bronze = DVC's good ol' coin #1 (Attic Owl)

I feel like yelling foul, mixing Greek and Roman. No comparison in the artistry. However, in the spirit of the competition, I have selected the following:
Gold: maridvnvm's Ptolemy VI Philometor, Ar Tetradrachm Silver: Dougs" Corenth Stater Bronze: Doucet's Castulo Spain Sphinx (Answer to the riddle is Day and Night)

Gold: Doucet's Sphinx Silver: Doucet's Hippocamp Bronze: Steve's Gryphon
Perhaps you'll note I like 'different' animals better than birds.
