malamute67 => yes, these guys are amazingly good at spotting fakes!! Ummm, I'm thrilled that you have entered coins into the SMACKDOWN competition ...    "However", you are only allowed to enter a total of "two coins" ... so please decide which is your favourite Radiate and which is your favourite Laureate and then "delete" the other two coins ... okay? Thanks

Hi Martin you are very correct....  . Both coins are indeed fakes. The first is a fantasy coin and the other fake is regularly offered on ebay. So this posting has two reasons a warning and the smackdown, they meet the requirements of this smackdown.

  Pretty sneaky, Eddop => using the ol' "I meant to do that" trick, eh? (well played) ... Ummmm, so are you stayin' with the fakes, or did you want to toss-in a couple of authentic coins? Either way, all of you guys have until 8pm tonight (Manitoba Time) to enter your wonderful coins!! => so get 'em in!

I don't mean to point people out, "but" I did notice the following usual suspects have "not" yet tossed-in an example for their friends to gaze upon: - ValiantKnight - Marti Vltori - Ancient Noob (but he has a little baby excuse) - Ben Byfield - einhardt - Hatra ====>>>>>> "dougsmit" ... c'mon man, we miss your stuff! ... less than "1" hour remaining
