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.
Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free
For me, LeeG and Cladking are my favorites. They are knowledgeable and kind hearted with their responses(especially with new collectors like me). This is an excellent question speety.

Has anyone mentioned the late banned Conder101? He was quite knowledgable and always took the time to contribute here. Also, he was our resident slab expert.

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.
I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

I can say, without absolute authority, the only poster who I have read every post from...is me.
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.
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.
I think ANYONE who positively contributes to these boards is a favorite, but some that truly stand out for me are Bochiman, Broadstruck (especially after the great YN giveaway!), CladKing, and Notlogical from the YN group. Again, I think the vast (99.95%) of the people here are AWESOME!!!
