Votes counted, winner declared!
« on: February 25, 2021, 04:39:07 pm »
The people have spoken and the Gallery of the Year is determined (and there will be no recounts).

I am very happy to anounce that carausius' gallery has been overwhelmingly chosen to represent Forvm as the Gallery of the Year for 2020, and deservedly so! His collection of Roman Republican coins is impressive and well presented, and stands as a wonderful reference for other collectors...

Bravo sir, thank you, and congratulations.

Cheers!

Congrats Carausius!

Is the rumor true that half your votes were Russian bots??

Lol.
Seriously, all of this year's nominees were more than worthy of being named, so carausius carrying the day should taste all the sweeter.

Third time is the charm, I guess!  

Thank you all.  I'd particularly like to thank those that nominated and seconded my Roman Republican gallery and all 25 (!) voters.  I'd also like to congratulate my fellow nominees, whose galleries are all winners.  Also a special shout-out to Peter for managing the nominations and poll for yet another year. 

Finally, I'd like to encourage all ancient coin collectors to publish their collections online in a scholarly way - with accurate diameters, weights and axis reported - so that researchers have access.  If more private collections were online in this way, it would remove a big arrow from the quiver of the anti-collector lobby, who claim "collector coins are not available to researchers."  Let's prove them wrong.  The internet levels the playing field and  makes our collections virtually as accessible as major museum collections.  Forum Galleries is a great place to start.


With gratitude,
Michael "Carausius" Davis

A first-rate collection,  full of restored provenances, very well presented as a Forum gallery with clear numismatic details. 
(The Brutus-Flavius was icing on the cake!)  I always hesitate to comment on Michael 's new posts because "wow" doesn't do justice.   Only about 1000 more Crawford types to post, Michael!  Standing by.
