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).

You can squeeze a nickel out of a penny you're so tight. lol

Although, that's a great skill to have in today's economy.

I'll volunteer to do the next SMACKDOWN, just one and that's it. It might be fun.

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)

Yes, I'd hand it off to someone. Although, I think these contests are better served with you running it. You know you love doing it! lol

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.
