With my vote for that sweet Dinar, it looks like @finn is the winner with four votes, followed by a three way tie between @pep, @pt, and @arkie.
The floor is yours @finn.

Thanks all! I had missed where I was actually declared the winner. Next challenge is simple and inclusive - post your ugliest "hole filler" for a rare, scarce, or expensive coin that you are still proud to own. Ex:  Japan, 1 yen 1870 (with removed mount) Background - the 1870 Yen is one of the classic rarities of the machine-struck series, and rarely sells for under $200 in any condition - except this one that I bought in a large lot and kept for free by selling the rest. Good luck! Winner will be chosen by popular vote - let's say Friday night.
