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,
