    << <i>I have enjoyed many great posts here over the years. I could name at least two dozen members who have made great contributions to the forum with information, intelligence, insight, and scholoarly knowledge. Some of these members no longer post here, others are YN's who posted only briefly, or who have joined more recently. However, I'd be afraid of leaving out someone worthy if I made an actual list. Besides, I am probably biased towards those who generally agree with me LOL ... and even I can admit that that is not an objective standard.

    Thanks to all who have enlightened me, taught me, or made me reconsider a stubbornly held opinion, and to those who have increased my enjoyment of the hobby by your participation here.

    Best,
    Sunnywood

    Most of my favorite coin thinkers have been posted already. There are also 2 dozen or so frequent posters on the "gold" thread who have added worthwhile information over the past couple of years.
    They know who they are.

    Other coin inputters I like to read from include NJCoincrank, Elcontador, Nic, Ronyahski, Shylock, Lloydmincy, Jhdfla, etc. There are others too numerous too mention...some have gone on to better things as well (gyocomgd, gsaguy, etc). Monsterman is always a hoot to read.

    Honestly, as soon as I read the underline on inciteful instead of insightful I started laughing because I knew what was coming next.

    Have to get one of those. Caligula has been on my list for a long time as a coin to get some day. Have a good portion of the Emp.'s from Nero to Vespasian.

    This forum is good though, in that there are only two people I really don't like. Maybe I have not been here long enough. image

    So far, the only person who I've read a post specifically because he posted in it was Rob, LordM. Always an interesting, entertaining post coming from him.
