[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3292417, member: 83845"]Man, you would think I was handing out poison candy on Halloween :mask: instead of trying pat my friends on the back and give away free stuff :banghead::eek::D While I don't have all the details of exactly how the recognition / competition will play out I can tell you all that you have my word that I will do all in my power to ensure that: [LIST=1] [*]The proceedings will be handled with care to ensure that it does not cause any undue stress on any of our valued members. [*]All those who take their time to enrich the rest of us with thier numismatic knowledge will be appropriately honored for thier contributions according to thier preferences.

Not a bad suggestion [USER=93702]@Clavdivs[/USER] . Perhaps a special award or shout out for the new member (say less than 2 years) whose post/thread is of high quality. Interesting... I will give this some additional thought. :) Also remember the value / grade / popularity of the coins discussed will be largely irrelevant for which threads to index. It's all about educational value and driving interesting discussion. Even good questions that drive a valuable discussion as Doug pointed out are fair game. So in that way the newer collectors are driving the high quality content just as much as the seasoned collectors. Okay, maybe we just need a coin to help us get distressed and on a positive track?
