Maybe my breath is so bad that it could be used for fish bait?  |

MAN! I almost pulled the trigger on some 19th century Sarawak bronzes more than a few times. Never did though, so I'm out this round. |

I think that @pepactonius or @Joseph7420 have this locked up, but here is a 19th Century cent from the same general geographic location (Straits Settlements):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Don't think we are getting any more bites for Sarawak. Time to call it? I think pepactonius wins this round.

I think pepactonius wins this round. I'm thinking of something a bit easier this time, in hopes of getting wider participation. I suppose I could challenge with a Paphlagonian coin from 450BC, or perhaps one from the Umayyad Caliphate from 734AD (just 2 years after the battle of Tours). However, what I propose is to submit a coin from a less obscure country, namely the US (United States). The coin itself would have to be non-trivial, so it would be hard to get the full 6 points, but relatively easy to get 4 to 5 points. Unless I hear complaints (or the internet goes down), I'll post the US challenge coin well before midnight tonight. The 3-day waiting period for entries could end 2017/09/28 23:59:59 or 2017/09/29 00:00:00, forum time. |
