Full Version: Grand Finale - BC to 499 AD vs. 1800 to 1899 AD
Such "finals" are always problematic in my opinion - apples and oranges, y'know. 
Neither of the two would be my overall favorite in this contest, but both are great coins. No vote.

Wow. That's a brutal choice. I mean, I voted, but I'm half considering asking to rescind it so I can try again. Nah. Yes. No. Augh! What an impossible choice!

I agree. That is why the finals don't affect prizes (except what I write on the 2x2's
) or anything else. They are really just for the heck of it/fun of it and so Sylvester can do a PCI of PCI winners sometime in the future.However, the finale is my favorite competition of all the PCI competitions as it means I am finally done with PCI5!
I voted for the Seated Liberty as it would look good in my type set
and I don't collect ancients. But, truthfully, I would love to have either one of them in my possession.
Two beautiful coins, but not a tough choice for me. I love the Seated Design coins, and the proof version is a stunner.
Like Stu said I'd be happy with either coin in my collection, but when it comes down to it, I look at both and say, if they were to let me keep one of these 2 which would it be?
The Seated Prood Half.
Nice job again Stu!

Yikes, difficult choice 
Its got to be the ancient.
Proofs,medals etc just aren't my thing.

Gotta go with the owl! 
Wisdom and age before attractive and youthful exhuberance
PROOF SEATED LIBERTY!!!!!!!!!!!! 
The Owl is nice, but Ive seen better examples, The Seated Liberty is a GEM!!

Ooooh. A tie right now!
Circulation-strike!
The owl cant even come close to price on that Seated Liberty "PROOF"!, if thats any thought to the contest. 
As cool as the Owl is I am not an ancient guy...
Gotta go with Seated Lib.

I vote for the Athenian Owl. My favourite ever coin.

and a fine job you did Stujoe, thanks again for doing this, also a thank you to all the contestants. We have seen some wonderful coins, and exwhatchmacallits.

Since the Owl is the only real coin (i.e non-proof) then Owl it is.
Personally I have to agree with tabbs; neither coin really "lights my fire". No disrepect intended for these great coins! I just do not find them as appealing as some of the other entries (Think Croc! ) -and that is just a matter of taste. However, unlike tabbs, I did vote.

Hoot Hoot!
The owl has pulled away a bit now.

Do you blame him? That eagle's claws could rip him to shreds.
