WINNER! Best Non-US Coin found, December, 2007

lordmarcovan

Congratulations to Riccar, who was the only one who entered a non-US coin last month.

(And apologies to the entry thread creator BentFork, who had some contenders but didn't put them in the nomination thread, so I overlooked them.)

A 1958 Canadian cent.




Be warned, though, y'all- there has a been a ZOT sighting on the boards recently, so if the Fabulous Finn returns as I hope, the Non-US category should heat up a little!

Wow, I remember last December (06) there were alot of foreign coins found, my 1806 George III half penny couldn't even win. Snow bound this year. Congratulations Riccar, looks like you had a very good December!

Riccar

Hmmm... don't know if I can accept. I see Dockwalliper and Bentfork had some foreign finds. I only threw mine in there to hopefully send us into a vote if one other person found foreign currency...

Too late to add a poll?
(sorry to be difficult )

Dockwalliper

1958 was a better year than my Canadian cent. I toss in the towel.

haha! thanks Doc (I should've nominated you and Bentfork before the buzzer went off)


If it came to a vote, I would think Bentfork's Euro coins would win... Oh well. I really like to see things go to a vote, and will even drop something into the ring when I know it doesn't even compare with the other item. (happens many times when Zot is around)

I didn't see Gary's Eurocoins?

Sorry, Gary- I only went by what was in the nomination thread. Since you were the one who put up the nomination thread, and I posted the polls without consulting you, I must apologize. Maybe you were intending to add your stuff just before putting up the polls?

Congratulations Riccar... Cheers, RickO

I see I also forgot to proclaim Gary as the winner of the Most Face Value in Non-US Coins.

I had forgotten there was such a category. It wasn't one of the original ones, back when I last did poll duty.



Sorry for the oversights.

Riccar

No complaints here - Thanks for setting up the polls LM!

Here ya go Rick!



Congrats!

Riccar

Thanks GR

lordmarcovan

He made you another one, Rick.



Thanks for your help with the polls, Gary, and sorry for overlooking your non-US stuff. (I'm excused for so doing on the quality awards, since you didn't nominate them, but I shouldn't have missed them on the quantity awards thread. Again, I forgot that we now have a non-US face value award!)

And thanks for doing the plaques, John. I appreciate it. (You didn't by any chance do the Quantity plaques too, did you?)

I "tweaked" Riccar's Relic plaque a little, since his original pic was kind of dark and hard to see when shrunken down.

BentFork

Congrats again Rick.

Rob, no worries about my finds. I didn't post a thread with a picture of my Euro. An Italian 2 Euro isn't exactly what I'd consider a nominable find. Is nominatable a word? I consider that more as bulk coinage finds. The old Canadian Rick found is a better find IMHO.

Yep folks, LM is right. There has been a Zot recently sited. And he's armed and dangerous with an Explorer II!
