Hard to choose really, and many entrants didn't include the prices (I was curious as to the cost of many of these pieces) Anyway grats to all that entered.

Wow--what a great smackdown! I could put vote for every coin, if there were enough categories. Bronze--Echizento Caligula bronze AS--just a great price for all the detail!  Silver--DavidUK: Very nice Alex III tet! Gold--Maridvnvm: Kyme Aeolis tet--just a beautiful coin, a real work of art!

I am prejudiced towards bronze. Yes I know that late antoniniani are technically "silver" coin but being 1/32 something doesn't make you a member in my book !
Gold Eddop - Numerian ( I actually see 2 chump/pedestrians getting mauled !) Silver echizento - Caligula ( almost a nice as mine for which I paid triple 20 years ago !) Bronze Monkeybean - Carausius ( Any 'fool' can show you a galley reverse of this guy !)

How are we scoring these? Still doing 3 pts for a gold vote, 2 for a silver vote and 1 for a bronze vote? Because that would have given my theo II 7 pts.

Is there anyone interested in doing the next smackdown? Maybe one of our new members wants to host this one?
