I'd like to nominate Shawn Caza (SC), in addition to being a fine contributor, he also released his book this past year, adding to the body of numismatic study out there.

More nominations please. We still have some other Procurator Monetae that are eligible to receive Perpetuus status. Normally we allow everyone three votes but unless we get more nominees it will have to be only one vote per member.

While I will certainly vote for my nominee, I hope we get enough for three votes. There are many worthy, although those already nominated are all great. Can we nominate more than one?

Good point Joe. In that case, I'd like to nominate Jay GT4 in the hopes he can maybe achieve perpetuus status. He remains a prolific poster and contributes daily here at forum.

I think that's perfectly fine Virgil.  I need to browse less on my phone though, I've misfired twice on nominations - lol. 

But I think both Jay and SC are great :)
