Finn or Arkie, I guess - it depends on whether, on points tie, "posted first" or "closer match" takes priority.
I think I actually do have some early Islamic coins, but they're all copper, and they're in such bad condition that I don't even know if they're Umayyad or Abbasid (never mind the caliph or date). Also I'd have to look for them, because I can't recall seeing them lately.

If it were my round, I would assign a half point for the closer match. Absent that, post first would take it.

I'll cede to Pepactonius if he wants to go again. If not, I have a good one that might rope in some more US collectors.

Didn't Arkie post the challenge this time? |

I'll wait until tonight to see if Arkie or Pepactonius chime in. If not, then I'll post mine. Sound fair?

We've got a lot of specialists and a lot of generalists here. I think it would be fun to make a game where we get to challenge our fellow numismatists to procure matching examples of obscure coins we have in our collection!
This game is only about coins,right ? ..  I'm missing something ? |
