2005 Forvm Numismatic Excellence Awards Poll

[Pep]

Welcome to THE Final Polling for the 2005 Forvm Awards For Numismatic Excellence!  We will be awarding a gold logo to the site that receives the most votes, silver to the second most-voted, and bronze to the site that comes in third in votes.

We would like you to vote for three sites from the list of finalists above in order to give the silver and bronze awards as much backing as possible.  However, you may vote for just one or two sites if that is what you really want to do.  In any case, please note that you must vote for all of your choices at the same time.  The board programming does not allow you to vote for one site and then come back and vote for your other one or two choices later.

Our finalists were the eight sites that received the most submissions during the nomination process that closed a few days ago.  I congratulate them for this and wish them the best of luck in polling.  Regardless of the outcome, they are all treasures of the online numismatic community.

As for the rest of our standard award recipients, your hard work and sharing of knowledge is appreciated all the same and not one bit less.  This is why you received the original award after our membership reviewed your sites in their own individual polls.  Since a site can only win the annual gold award twice, there exists a great chance that you may see your sites in future contests.

Thank You and Happy Holidays,

Kevin
