I'd like that be the smackdown more open of the story.A smackdown in which it should be all kinds of silver coins.
3 Extra points - smaller
3 extra points - largest
3 extra points - more heavy
3 extra points - lighter
2 extra points - coins of different category (Greek/roman/byzantina/china)
1) At most two (2) entries per member.
2) Voting: Vote for three in order of preference, Gold (3 pts), Silver (2 pts), Bronze (1 pt).
3) Number of golds will be the first tie breaker. If two coins have the same score and the same number of golds it will be the host's choice.
Entries are accepted from now until Friday midnigth GMT,And votes until Sunday midnigth GMT (If everybody seems well)
Are you ready?
