And the winner is... 2018 Gallery of the Year!
« on: January 14, 2019, 10:28:37 pm »
Drum roll please...

The people have spoken, and it is my great honor to announce okidoki as the winner of the 2018 Gallery of the Year!
His amazing collection of Hadrian coins is an absolutely worthy successor to the past winners, and I'd like to be the first to congratulate him. As a prize you can now claim any coin from Joe's store which you can afford.   ;)

I would be remiss if I didn't give honorable mention to our runners up Carausius (Roman Republic) and Schatz (Parthian), both of whom did well in the poll and both creators of galleries I believe will eventually claim first place in the near future.

In fact all of the nominated galleries were quite exceptional, and i would like to thank everyone who participated.

So congratulations once again to okidoki, and let the celebrations begin!
