Coin of the Year Award

Alien99

I am looking for a list of the coins which got the Coin of the Year (COTY) final award sponsored by the Krause Publiscation and World Coin News. There is one coin each and every year for coins issued since 1982. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Wow, I've never heard of that. I'll bet it's a great list. Hopefully someone else can provide some insight.

That one is sponsored by Chard, not Krause.

If you google ("Coin of the Year" Krause) you'll find several winners bragging about the award, but a quickie scan didn't find a comprehensive list jumping out.

Perhaps this is worth contacting Krause and/or WCN themselves. It's dumb of them to not take advantage of the cheap advertising the internet provides on this. I'd really like to see that gallery!
