As we say in the South...."Yes Ma'am"! The good folks "over yonder way" by @Smudge use a similar dialect and would probably agree! Thank you for the positive thoughts and prayers that I would bet ended with amen! Hopefully I don't get too many disagrees or flags for that....oh wait....

What the heck got 3 active members banned in such a short space? Is the forum going back to its quick ban ways of 5 years ago? I better stop posting for awhile.

Thank you for the feedback everyone. What happened over the weekend was unfortunate. We provide this forum as a way for our community to share knowledge and socialize in a positive and constructive way. We found that more often than not, the disagree function led to inappropriate retaliation and negativity. We believe in each of our forum member's ability to still successfully disagree with someone using a written response in lieu of clicking a button.
Having read through all of your reactions to the banning of some well-liked members we will be offering them admission back into the forum after a probationary period. We hope that they do return to provide their helpful insights and valued contributions.
With all of that being said, the rules for this forum are clearly posted. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. We encourage you to use the flag functionality when warranted and we will do our best to review and act accordingly.
I hope that this answers any lingering questions or concerns on this matter.
Once again, thank you all for your contributions to this community, Let's continue to make this forum a welcoming source of information for new and seasoned numismatists.

Good looking piece!

Congratulations, a paradise coin for sure! Was that the acetone dip recommendation he made? We haven't seen the last of JWitten or Insider imho.
That is an amazing looking coin! Nicely done!
Congratulations on getting a 70. I wish they were back too, then we can all have a big group hug !!!

PCGS announced in the thread about the disagree button that they will be coming back.
So last I knew you had a 69. How did you upgrade to this gorgeous 70? I must have missed the story@@ Congrats tho, she's perfect!!!!!!

That is a beautiful coin... the most impressive reverse design on a new coin in a long time. Cheers, RickO
A good friendship and then some ......
This one:
RIP Disagree Button
As usual the women save us when men get hot headed.
I like it except that the eagle is eating a salad. Would rather see a carnivore eagle rather than a vegan one. I suppose its a sign of the times.
That is called the New Masculinity

...... you go figure 
we will be offering them admission back into the forum after a probationary period.
That's wonderful news! Now if we could just figure out how to keep Trolls out.
If we can't beat them, retrain them!

I look forward to their return! (jwitten, insider and crazyhounddog)

I think there was a 4th veteran who also got tossed? (Not including the slippery one).
My involvement in moderns is deliberately limited, but that turned out to be a drop dead, gorgeous coin, especially in 70. A real show stopper!
