[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 913656, member: 16948"]I too liked the ease of the button on TOTW, and though I too won a couple TOTW's (which I appreciated very much!) and was inspired even more to keep writing, I didn't and don't write for any kind of recognition. I write because I like to and with the hope that it helps someone. It's my way of giving back to the coin world. I had a few mentors that took a lot of time to teach me, answer my never-ending questions, let me set up with them to learn the buy/sell ropes, taught me how to grade, how to keep track of coins, etc., so I feel by writing and posting on forums that it's a way to repay what was given to me, to help others like I was helped, to help the novice get started in the right direction, and to better enjoy the wonderful world of coins. And FWIW, I also agree that it was great to have the "better" threads posted in one place where you could check them, to see what others thought was important or worthy of recognition, especially the ones that were recognized from other parts of this forum that I don't usually check, like world and foreign coins.[/QUOTE]
