[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2856999, member: 39084"]It surprises me too when non-ancient collectors post in this thread. But since I literally never look at the "Recent Threads" sidebar, I'm easily surprised. Initially when I started reading this thread I was a bit uncomfortable with its approach to a coin giveaway, and Doug's statement above articulates the reason for my lack of comfort. The generosity evidenced in Ken Dorney's intention is probably best administered in private. I would suggest that Ken assemble a small "committee" of experienced, long-time members who then communicate among themselves via private message to determine and announce the lucky recipient. Similarly, nominations for a deserving recipient could also be received by the committee via PM from non-members simply by contacting them.
