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.

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.

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!

The rule is that coins compete only with coins of the same attribution.  So, different Price numbers, if given in the attribution do not compete against each other.  If someone were to add a ATG tet without any attribution other than "ATG tet" it would have to have a higher rating than every other ATG tet to remain.  If it does have a higher rating than all the other ATG tets, it stays but none of the other ATG tets get deleted because they are still the BOT for their specifically attributed type.

Should we include the Price number in the title? or is it enough to be listed in the description?

I would like if everyone put it in the title, but flexibility is the rule because not everyone will read this post or even remember it if they do.  In the description is good enough.  If I see two the same, I will probably modify the titles to ensure they are next to each other and that a challenge is clear.

Do you have to create a gallery to post best of type coins?

No, it is one of the theme galleries.  If you create your own, it will be in the wrong place.
