Smackdown V The Fable Of The Seven Sleepers

I should have a new Smackdown topic up this evening EST.

Silver - Whiz
Bronze - Marti

Close but no cigar once again! One day I am going to win one of these things.

I will go with the Greek! Thanks FR! Should we do the same as last time since we know you will probably have to ship another package to me in the near future anyway and it saves you from footing the bill ;)

Okay ..... So I cooked the dinner and picked up the kids at school and hit the Home Depot and the Super Market too.

Now to get back to the important stuff .....

By my count (I could be wrong)
Victorioso placed a very strong #4 and so he gets the honor to pick first .
After that ..... well I am not sure. Perhaps in order of appearance ?

who did not actually enter a coin but served as my muse {mein kleine Schmetterling}
and inspired the 5 minute cut and paste jobs I did on Gibbon's masterpiece

So Victorioso picks first and then we follow the list

Select either photo 1 - (1-5)
or photo 2 - (1-6)





Bargain Bin Material From Me to You !

OH wait I win something? Ill take Greek if thats the case.

Sorry I had no idea I got a prize. LOL

Well Jimbo I felt a bit shy about winning your 'high grade' Probus from the last Smackdown. Being close to 40 years on the collecting circuit does give me an advantage over many forum members who are newer to the field.
Rather than decline the 'honor' I felt that perhaps I could return something to my 'brothers' (and sisters !).
My original intent was that the top 3 should receive a 'token'. But realizing that perhaps the prizes would be more welcomed by collectors with the least to show (off) ...... I decided that these AE's which mean little to me might be more welcome to the 'young at heart'!

MV ..... 'Whiz' already laid a claim on the Greek. The Byzantine is actually better than it appears. While Justin is a bit worse for wear the reverse is in good shape. I purposely showed the obverse so that someone might be surprized.

Well it seems like Victorioso is out of town ...... and not wanting to distract from the current smackdown lets move along and finish this up ! I will make an effort to find him something.

Next !

Pishpash speak up !

An excellent choice ! Definitely "Julio Claudian" might be Claudius.

Pishpash you have restored my faith. Some of these I had listed on ebay previously (1.99) either alone or in pairs and had no takers. I thought if I gave them away it would be easier than this !

Lets finish up so 'Noob' can have the stage ! Ech !
Get a move on ...... don't make me drag you out

That is a nice idea and very honourable. By the way your Probus is in the post and hopefully shouldn't take too long to arrive.
