This is the official end of the PCI. We always work toward an overall winner and I will start that this weekend. I am basically going to go

1.
BC to 499 AD
vs
500 to 1499 AD

2.
1500 to 1699 AD
vs
1700 to 1799 AD

3.
1800 to 1899 AD
vs
1900 to 1949 AD

4.
1950 to Present
vs
Exonumia

Then winner of 1 vs winner of 2 and winner of 3 vs winner of 4. Then the winner of 1/2 versus the winner of 3/4 for the overall winner.

After all that I will mail out prizes.

WOW! I actually won a category and it was my coin from the beginning!

So, unlike college football there's an actual playoff?

Yes. Although it is mostly a funsies kind of thing because there is not a great way to have the categories square off that makes it totally fair.

But, I think Sylvester eventually wants to do a PCI of PCI winners so we need to proceed to an end game.

Terrific job SJ!! Loads of fun to watch and vote and drool!

Great job Stujoe. Congratulations to the winners and all of the entrants. There were some great coins and many of the votes were very difficult decisions.

PCI keeps getting better every season. Thanks Stujoe! Congratulatios to all the winners.

Hey Stu - forget the rounds - I would love to see all 8 winners fight it out in one big super finale!

Anyway, I'm humbled that 3 of my coins made it this far. I almost feel embarassed to have so many "winners." For me, everyone that took the time to enter and vote is a winner. Thanks again everyone, especially Stu for running the show in such a flawless and professional manner.

I totally agree

In the midst of my smart-aleck comment about college playoffs I forgot to say my real thoughts; Stujoe you're the greatest!

This has been a hoot and I've been sorting through my coins and medals to find PCI VI entries.

Just a question though, are we going to have a separate nekkid person category?
Another question, prizes? Who gives out those and how can I contribute towards them?

Finally, and not least, thanks to all those who kicked my butt and (disturbingly) gave great pleasure at the same time. Fabulous coins and medals all!

Yep that's right Stu, one day i want to do a playoff of all the PCI's. How many seasons do we need to go through to make that viable though Stu? 8 or 16?

Congrats to all the category winners! This was my best season yet; one of my coins made it to a category final.

Thanks Stu!

8 would come a few years sooner than 16.

I am handling prizes this round. I have a few of them already. A few I still need to get. It won't be spectacular but I have it covered.
