May I be the first to say how enjoyable the coin contest is proving. I think this is the kind of thing we need more of to bring the Numista forum back to life.
I can imagine how much time and effort you have put in. I'm only sorry that I was only able to take part to a limited degree.
Well done Sir, you deserve a round of applause.
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.
Make Numismatics Great Again!
Yes, I like reading everyone's reasons for selecting a coin. Especially eminem, I find that most of the time I am selecting a coin for the exact same reason he is.
Its been a very good contest, I hope it builds steam and more people get involved. I would love to see some new names in the forums.
Here's a beer for you, dptashny, Cheers......well, I guess I'll just have to drink it for you
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!
I wish though there would be a better voting tools in the forum (like many other forums have). Would prevent long threads and provide "running totals" right away.

Haha i noticed that as well
and i do agree its cool to see what everyone thinks,
thanks dptashny!
What a terrible idea this contest has been from the start. It seems to bring out the worst in people. Have you seen some of the politically incorrect off topic comments people are making during voting? It has generated some of the worst looking and worst condition coins I've ever seen. The photos and scans of some of the coins are atrocious. I'm afraid of the outcome.
I'm kidding, of course, except the parts about the condition of some of the coins and about some of the scans/photos, those parts are evidently true.

Great job with the contest. I seem to be having too much fun.
