well done mates, and well deserved!    +++

To be tied with David is humbling.  His collection for Flavian lovers is what we all aspire to. It is an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence with all the other deserving nominees.  My hats off to everyone especially Enodia, Alex and the cheerleader Sam who make this place so great.  I've tried my best to make comments on people's galleries and I know others have done the same to mine.  Thanks everyone. Forum and the people who support it are amazing.  How can we expose more people to this great resource?  There are some amazing coins in there!

I think his gallery is a standard any collector can aspire to, regardless of specialty.

I try to as well, because I know it always makes my day when I see a new comment in my gallery. I think Randy should get a special award for his efforts in that area.   ;)

Well deserved. Congrats both. 

I'll have to bulk mine up in coming months.... at least that's my excuse for a few acquisitions.

I was honoured just to be nominated with such a well deserving group, and now flattered to tie with Jay's fantastic Gallery. What started out as something for my own personal use in time became something a bit more than that. I'm glad to see that the efforts were not wasted and my fellow collectors can get some enjoyment from it.

A hearty thanks for the kind compliments!
