I am pleased to announce that we have honored Nicholas Molinari (Molinari), our
Tribunus Plebis 2015, as our newest
Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus. Thanks
Nick for sharing your expertise in 3942 posts since you joined in 2006, thanks for sharing your
gallery of 460 coins, thanks for your
superb book and website on man-faced bulls, and for the
Koinon journal. Our lifetime award is our members' highest expression of appreciation and admiration. Congratulations for your well deserved recognition.
Congratulations to Ralph Thomann (Shanxi) our
Tribunus Plebis 2018! Thanks on behalf of
Forum Ancient Coins and all our
Classical Numismatics Discussion Board members for your outstanding and unique contributions to this community. Your shared knowledge and 1259 posts since you joined in 2014 have made the the
discussion board a better place. Thanks also for sharing your
gallery of 844 coins. Nearly all of your posts are helping
members with authentication and
identification. This is perhaps the most important assistance we provide to collectors here on the boards, and your posts have been an important
part of that effort. This award is an expression of sincere appreciation and admiration from our
members for the
help and the education you have provided. Thanks!
On behalf of all our
members, I would also like to thank all our nominees. The votes were very close and clearly deciding who to select was a difficult
choice. Thank you, all of you, for generously sharing your time and expertise. You all deserve more appreciation and
honor than I can express.
