The PCI Guy Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 These two ended on a draw back in the PCI4 final, however, due to my intentions of one day having a PCI winners PCI special, we really need a winner here. So here we go again. Question is did your vote change from last time? Banivechi's Hungary, 2 Pengo 1939 Gpnyc's 1799 Draped Bust Dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I voted for the Dollar, but I think my 1799 might edge GP's out, by a hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBaker Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 They're both gorgeous coins! Have to go with the draped bust, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I can't see either picture but I believe I voted for the dollar last time and am voting for it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stujoe Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Wow. 14 to 2 as it stands right now. Seems there might be a little different make up to CP than there was a year ago. Of course, you could probably do the same contest in another year and it would be different yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuldFartte Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 The dollar, same as my last vote. I find it nearly impossible to believe that the Pengo tied the dollar last time out. That dollar is just flat-out AWESOME !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The PCI Guy Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I think the pengo had picked up a following over the rounds and they went with the moment when it came to the final. From a dead start though the results have tallied much more as i would have expected to be honest, being that it's a US forum with a strong bias to bust coinages.

Sir Sisu Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I just love that pengo coin!! My vote stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 The dollar for me. I like the pengo but it relies on the same designs that had been used for centuries. That is, the `Madonna and Child' and the angels supporting the arms. It's certainly pretty, but it's a well worn theme. Not innovative like the 'merkin was. Sometimes change can be a good thing.

The PCI Guy Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 US forum? World coins have won or tied for the overall winner 5 out of 6 times in the PCIs. Well that is true but what i meant was, the US is the country with the most representation. Therefore, based on my logic (which might differ from yours) it might make a slight bias towards the earlier US coins. I know i often vote against UK coins, generally when French ones get involved i do, but there are certain UK serieses that i grew up admiring and thus i have a soft spot for, which you might not have had if you hadn't grown with it. For instance, i voted for the Dollar here because i think it's a very attractive coin. But if it had been up against say a British crown, i probably would have gone for the crown based upon my slight bias for UK coins and the fact i'd grown up thinking "hey i wanted one of those". All that makes sense when you consider how i go about voting in this competition, i like several other members ask myself the question; "If i could take one or the other home with me which would i take?" Which very often doeasn't meant the same as "which is the most attractive?" Show me a generic bog standard common medieval coin and a brilliant super high relief Saint, i'd take the medieval. The saint might look nicer, but i'd get more pleasure out of owning the other because of my bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
