I am really torn as to what to post for this. I have a really great coin that I haven't received and I actually might not receive as it has been a loooong time in the mail. I think I will sacrifice the 2 points for the Roman/ and Greek option, and just go with some nice Apollo types, just for the viewers sake. I am torn..

Too bad for the bonus Anoob but 2 points isn't that much compared to what could bring the final votes. A few gold/silver medals for these beauties would be just enough, and they worth it

Don't forget that the smackdown close very soon. I'm sure that there are still some Apollo lying around, just waiting to be shown

Gold augustus1 Seleucid tetradrachm
Silver maridvnvm Aeolis, Myrina, Tetradrachm
Bronze DVcollector PHILIP II. AE 18

Who doesn't like a tet? If money was no object these would be primary targets everytime I logged in Vcoins.

Grats all, I would have entered also but I am afraid I just dont have any Appollo's yet.
