Their historical significance and beauty convinces me that several hours of perusal by hand of your collection
would be a singular gift to any interested collector.
What also impresses me is the immaculate, undefiled condition of the quantity of pieces shown
and the ability of the photographer to convey it.-simply extraordinary.
There have been uncountable quality posts and contributions from members of this forum over the years. However,
I consider yours to be second to none (despite being in medals, mostly) and I consider it an honor to nominate you
for the 1st PCGS W&ACF Lifetime Achievement Award.
Do I hear a second?

I'll post some later when I have time.
