Here are mine for Category A



and here are Mark's for Category B

I love that florin Neil. I've wanted one for so long but I'm really hesitant to take the plunge with all the fakes out there :/

I got mine from an Australian dealer. 99.99% sure it's legit.

Congratulations!

Two beautiful coins!

Congratulations to you both, 2 beautiful coins.

 :D Good... Australian horse final and Asian elephant final
These 2 winner coins are really lovely.

Great winners, I especially love the Ceylon. Something about the bullhead bust that gives a British monarch coin a chiselled edge in design.

Neil when are the next categories going live ?

Next round will be up this evening (about 12 hours from the time I'm posting)

The other coin in the Asian final was mine. But I'm happy to lose to the Ceylon coin. If I was voting I would have stuck a vote in for that one too.

Haha thanks I voted your florin throne by too cest manifique

I just knew the Rixdollar was Mark's. Congratulations to you both.

So everything is on the up and up, here are their proofs of ownership

Congratulations to Johnspa and Jelle for the America's. Two more coins added to my "Gotta Have" list.

Congratulations to the winners! All excellent coins!

Well done ! So close till the end with my Bahamas penny !

Citeer: "Mark240590"​Well done ! So close till the end with my Bahamas penny !

​The closest we've had so far. 30-29, you can't get much closer than that. Two worthy coins.

I have to admit I did like it. Shocked by the South America winner I thought the Guatemala would have done that one !

Citeer: "Mark240590"​I have to admit I did like it. Shocked by the South America winner I thought the Guatemala would have done that one !

​My coin had to contest 2 times with the same coin haha

It must be a popular coin, it took out some nice coins on the way, including my Panama 1904 50 Centsimos in round 2

Citeer: "Mark240590"​I have to admit I did like it. Shocked by the South America winner I thought the Guatemala would have done that one !

​The Guatemalan 1/2 real was mine - so sad to see it get blown away (although the Bolivian coin is admittedly a very nice coin and in better condition to mine!).

I was really worried the final would be my copper-nickel 1/2 real up against the silver version from the previous series!

This is the 1st time in 3 days that I could get to a computer. The voting ouldn't get any closer. I was worried about that Bahama penny Mark. It kept going back and forth within a couple votes. That Bahama coin is beautiful . The condition is amazing. Cheers!

So far Mark's had a winner and two runner ups from the 4 categories, let's see if he can keep it up and his coins for the latest two categories can do as well.

Six categories down, six different winners. The last round will be up tonight

Here are the proofs of ownership from the two winners

Steve 27 -



Hopeakettu

And here are the proofs of ownership from the two

Congratulations to all 8 winners, all truly deserving

Phil

I want to congratulate Quant_geek for winning the semi-final against my coin!

Thanks jelle! It is now getting harder and harder to vote! All of these coins are stellar...

Well done Fluke, you beat my coin in the Europe semifinals. I now own a copy of your coin, although mine doesn't have all the luster
