<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancientcoinguru, post: 3223688, member: 75563&quot;]Hello everyone! I want to thank everyone for their kind words, and especially <i>your votes</i>.&nbsp; This tournament has been very nerve-wracking for me, and I certainly did not expect to win.&nbsp; <i>Especially </i>when I saw the fantastic Rhodian tetradrachm [USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER] entered -- such exquisite artistry at a bargain price and a signed coin too<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So I have been keeping a very low profile, and simply focused on researching my entries. Behind each coin is a story, and researching the history surrounding each coin is one of my favorite parts of this hobby. Being superstitious, I have not even been watching the forum ([USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] had to tell me I had won).</p><p><br /></p><p>I am delighted everyone found this coin as amazing as I did -- it is so special, and I still get a thrill every time I look at it and hold it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;d like to give a <span style="color: #8000ff">big shout of thanks to [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER]</span> – without his help, I would not have won this tournament.&nbsp; As most of you know, I am simply an awful photographer and Curtismo touched up my photos, hid their imperfections, and gave them all a beautiful dark violet background. We all owe a debt of thanks to him – Curtis spends an amazing amount of time organizing the tournament and assisting each of the competitors by proofreading and editing our entries<i>. <span style="color: #8000ff"><b>THANKS CURTIS!!</b></span></i></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER], I only have 5 words for you: <i>Don’t mess with the librarian!</i></p><p>[ATTACH=full]839795[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
