@Zoins
We've never met, not even in cyberspace, but I want to tell you that you are a great contributor to these boards. I enjoy your posts and always learn something or are entertained by the coins and research you post. Thank you.

I told the rest of the family at the dinner table that I wanted to be another Zoins when I grew up... they collectively scrunched up their eyebrows and thought I had lost it! But I knew better... nice to be recognized for your contributions. Keep at it!
Wow! What an honor! I'm so humbled to read all these wonderful posts. It's great to hear from everyone, because from my perspective, it's really everyone here that makes it so fun and worthwhile for me to post, so I'd love to thank everyone here for posting and contributing to the forums as well as our hosts, Collectors Universe and PCGS for providing these forums.
When I first started posting here, I knew nothing about TPGs. I was just starting to buy coins on eBay and had purchased my very first PCGS coin, a British Trade Dollar, and I was wondering what TPGs were. I found the PCGS forums to satisfy my curiosity and very quickly learned that this was not only a community of very knowledgable people, but of wonderful people in general.
I'm still learning everyday myself, and to some extent, I'm at the very beginning as I only sold my first coins this very month, so I have a lot to learn and I'm looking to this community to get me up to speed. I'm thankful for this wonderful post @MWallace and to everyone's great responses, both posts and reactions. I look forward to continuing to learn from everyone here, having great discussions, and building great friendships for a long time to come
I have so many words of thanks for so many people, that I'll love to find some time to write, but for now, I'll call out a special thanks to @MWallace. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are a great contributor to numismatics! I love your SmallDollars.com website and have used it often. It helped me learn about and collect Concept Dollars from @dcarr as well as Ron Landis and Joe Rust. So thank you for this thread and thank you for making numismatics so much richer and fun!

You are very welcome Sir. Obviously everyone else feels the same as I do about you and your posts. It's you, and people like you, that keep me here.
Thanks for mentioning my website. I have stopped updating it, but it was a labor of love and it's always nice to hear that it has been useful to someone.
@Zoins - "I look forward to continuing to learn from everyone here, having great discussions, and building great friendships for a long time to come" ....Learning, sharing knowledge, and doing so collegially and with integrity...that's what you do, and that is something we can all be thankful for.

Geez...if I ever saw a thread title like that with my user name in it I'd be afraid to click the link to see what I did wrong!
