tabbs Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 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. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Such "finals" are always problematic in my opinion - apples and oranges, y'know. 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.

Dan769 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen some wonderful coins, and exwhatchmacallits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Since the Owl is the only real coin (i.e non-proof) then Owl it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 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.
