Thanks Jay.

I'll start the nominations by naming Leo, who has a great collection in general but his Taras gallery is outstanding! In both quantity and quality his is the best I've seen and I'm enviously impressed. He has been nominated before, and I think his time is due.

A great nominee and one I would have been happy to put forward!

I want the cup back in Canada this year. So I’d like to nominate the gallery of Jay Grande, who could became or first Gallery Anni Perpetuus…

[Enodia]

I'll second Jay.  🙂

[Jay GT4]

I'm humbled.  But I think there are far better candidates!  I'm content with one gallery of the year and I'm still not sure how I tied against David's incredible Flavian gallery.  I didn't think we needed someone to second the nomination last time, did we?

[Enodia]

I think we did, but I'm easy. We could just go with nominations. We want more candidates anyway to bring these galleries into the light. You guys have some great coins and they need to be seen. Otherwise they might as well have stayed buried. And when they're presented well then Forvm Galleries becomes a very useful resource, and that was why we started doing this in the first place.

So take this opportunity to explore numismatic areas you might not normally frequent and nominate the gallery you think best meets these ideals.

For pottery and weapons, can't beat Kamnaskires, IMO.

Thanks v-drome, I never would've found this gallery had you not posted it, and it is a joy to browse.
Kamnaskires thank you, a beautiful collection!

Many of my favourites are already above, but I will add two more:

Klausklage’s amazing Trajan gallery:

Curtis JJ’s gallery, in my opinion THE gold standard for quality of write ups:

I was racking my brain to come up with some suggestions besides the gallery that immediately came to my mind, which is  *Alex's gallery. Unfortunately I don't spend nearly as much time in the galleries as I should.

All of the suggestions above are quite worthy and this would certainly be a heated contest if all were thrown in the mix.

[Joe Sermarini]

So many amazing galleries!

[Ron C2]

Well shucks. Everyone I was going to nominate has been already.

Some great suggestions folks.

[*Alex]

I think that Mauseus' Carausius gallery should be added to the list.

[Jay GT4]
