Ruben,
Did I hear you mention a prize for second and third place, because there ain't no way I am in first anymore. I would be happy to take the bronze medal behind Fish and Drusus.
Phenomenal Post that belongs in the Hall of Fame. BTW, what happened to all of the threads in the Hall of Fame, they are all gone.

I noticed that the Hall of Fame is reset. There was a post by Clembo that had nearly a 100 nominations which was basically a "Why Coin Talk is Great and Changed My Life" thread. Despite that description, it was a brillant thread.
In truth, I wish I could give everyone a prize. I also hope for world peace, and good will to Jews in their land, a trip to Mars in my lifetime, and the end of global warming.

Or....maybe we can print and bind the entire museum and give it out as prizes.

I never saw this before Mr Fish. This looks very useful. I'll have to download it and give it a run.

Ruben | Ruben, just give him the gold coin already, we all know he won. Don't forget my honorable mention (gold foil covered chocolate coin). |

Great Job. I have an 1804 half and you motivated me to go back to take a more detailed look at it.

Coin Talk Code of Honor
1. Post unto others as you would have them post unto you.
2. Keep it clean, like a 1950s family television show.
3. If you don't like the coin, don't trash the person. | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
