Adding Two Coins

[Noah]

I do not believe that I have this many BOT coins (I believe many coins in BOT don't belong there), but I want to stimulate competition.  Therefore, I added two fairly common types.  Please, please feel free to challenge them... Vote for me or push me out!!

Two very good coins you show here Noah. They are not at all "misdisplayed" in BOT gallery

Thanks JC!  I do have a few that I believe are true contenders (Licinius II, Constantine II, Trajan), but others I simply placed there to encourage more participation of Forvm members.  I know there are several disinterested folks who could certainly offer some very, very stiff competition.  There are others (yourself included) who could place many specimens and have absolutely no contenders!

I did the same, adding coins to try and stimulate interest. Most, if not all of them, should be easily beatable. I am really quite surprised that there haven't been more contenders.

Well, there are those of us who choose this method to "play" with our coins.  We find it exciting and fun to participate in such a "competition."  I believe there are scores of Forvm members who simply aren't interested or find it conceited to display their coins in this topic.  I honestly think that I don't have any BOT if all coins discovered worldwide were taken into account.  It can't be taken too seriously when most of us are playing "pick-up" soccer and merely spectating the "major" leagues, if you catch my drift.  Still, I have fun displaying some of my coins!    To me this is the beauty of Forvm; there are so many topics discussed on these boards that everyone can participate in what he/she finds compelling.  

P.S. Well, I guess I do believe that my Constantine II is a contender in its category (and so is your Augustus Cistophorus, Alex)...    Ok, I'll step down from my philosophical "soap box" and digress...

Best, Noah

13.7.8.-- BACCHIC BABY, model for Commodus's at Nicopolis
23 12 02 AE 19  Philippopolis.  Marcus Aurelius, bareheaded, bust to r.  AV KAI MAR AVREta    ANTONEIN.  Rev., Dancing baby Dionysos (or, possibly, Bacchic infant), head wreathed, shouldering thyrsos beribboned on both ends in his r. and carrying kantharos in his l. hand.  He looks like a Dionysiac baby on a silver cup a century earlier.  PhILIPPOP  OLEITON.  Under his left foot is not an exergue line but a bit of "earth".  (in Bold its HrJ system category)

No longer the ONLY one known, it remains the best that I know, and one of the best Xmas gifts anyone ever had.
