I will also nominate @ColonelJessup for his poetic responses and knowing more about coins that the sum of 95% of the collective forum.> @Crypto said:
Do we get to consider their collective body of work or only for the current iteration? Insider 1, 2, or 3? Glicker 1 - 10?
Total body of work, I have it on fairly high accord that once a poster has been beaten into submission by the mods that it takes the wit out of their subsequent 1176 posts
Well, if we are talking 2 SD below the median coin collector age, yes, you probably qualify.
I was thinking more along the lines of a student or minor (under 18 or 21), like @airplanenut when he was active here.
Ahem, I never left! But yes, my heyday was when I was a YN. ANA defines YNs as 18 and below.
As for who I'd put up...
@TomB and @MarkFeld both took me under their wing soon after I joined the boards and have freely offered advice ever since. Beyond what they've done for me personally, they've also consistently posted a treasure trove of information and advice. If they post, I read.
The other two are harder. There are lots of deserving members. I'll have to think more on it.
Among our lost members, Russ and Bear are obvious choices. Both were prolific posters, had great knowledge in their areas of interest, and were ever positive (unless you crossed Russ, in which case you got what you deserved). I'm very torn about kieferscoins. Cameron did a lot for me in terms of getting me involved with the ANA and its programming, and brought enthusiasm and knowledge to the boards. I know that what happened in the end wasn't malicious, but him getting in over his head. I feel for everyone involved. It's been just about a decade, but quite frankly, when I think about it, it still makes me sad. The whole situation was sad.

11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
Okay, I think we need several Mount Rushmore's:
Define YN, im 38...I think that qualifies
Latin American Collection
Maybe "Banned and Reinstated" should just be four portraits of Laura...

I might choose three faces of Laura with one @MarkFeld aka @coinguy1
This is unfolding into a WPA project that would keep Jo Davidson employed for a lifetime.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
All the added math is giving me a headache.

For his knowledge ad experience.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

The Mount Rushmore of alts is conspicuously missing.
