I do hope we'll get some other candidates here. In these challenges, one forum rule should not apply and that is 'be nice'! :evil:
I don't have any to challenge yours, unfortunately.

EDIT: I see that you chose from different owners but the principle still applies.

areich:
Actually, I think there is a flaw here when people only vote on those coins that are already in the BOT gallery.
There are some really nice ones that are not in BOT (yet).

And thinking about it, isn't there room for more than one ATG drachm in the gallery?
One per mint? Or more? I don't think, I could ever choose one to represent the whole type.
I don't mean to nitpick but there's a lot to consider.

Lloyd Taylor:
I suggest that the key to objectivity is a competition such as this is that everyone who votes must cast a vote on all three, not just the one he favors. Thus a forced ranking at the individual voter level is made and summed across all voters so that the final total vote reflects the first, second and third preferences of all voters. Otherwise we don't capture individual voter preferences which is essential to an accurate ranking .... think about it! 8)

Surely all three will have different Price numbers, probably different mints. I think there should be room for more than one ATG tet!
