I agree, congrats Bill. You have one of the nicest type sets I have ever seen and your knowledge of U.S. coins is top notch. I appreciate your candor when commenting on photos of my coins.

Congratulations Bill. In the short time I have been on this forum, I have come to respect your comments and to admire your coins greatly. My collecting interests appear similar to yours but your knowledge level and your collection, are a cut above.
Bill indeed has some truly great coins. Were Bill contributes the most in my view though is the knowledge he inputs. His post are always informative and truly helpful. I have learned a lot as a result as have many of us. Never any condescension just the willingness to share knowledge and experience, all though he could write the book on most of the coins we discuss here.

Well said. Bill is one of the best here. Never brags, never condemns always adds great insight into threads.
I'm glad that my contributions here have added to your enjoyment of the hobby.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

I don't think I have pics of anything worthy enough to post - but I whole-heartedly agree with the others that Bill is one of the top posters on a forum that is loaded with a lot of sharp, experienced numismatists. Congratulations on 15,000 posts, and looking forward to the next 15,000!
Thank you, Bill for your many comments and most certainly your beautiful coins, medals and other memorabilia. I personally enjoy reading posts from such a knowledgeable forum member who is equally respectful of others' coin collections. You are one of the top fourm members here and elsewhere. Jim

I'm going to chime in also ... CoinJunkie expressed that Bill is in his Top 10 on the forum ...
I will state the same ... for me there are about 10 to 15 members who post thoughts and comments that I truely value reading (and learning from), and Bill certainly is in that group.
Thank you for what you share and how you share it Bill ... hope to see many more!
Now show us type junkies something kewl and make us all drool!!

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Despite my NSHA I find myself better informed on a regular basis after reading his posts.
When he opens his mouth I listen.
I wish I did more often before opening mine (partially said to preempt extension of this particular line of discussion).
I am overwhelmed.
I'm glad that my contributions here have added to your enjoyment of the hobby.
Bill J is solidly in my Top 10 on the CU Forum. Thanks for all of your contributions!

They do, and I hope you continue as they add to our knowledge as well.
I would love to see all his 18th and 19th century type coins.
Go Bill!!!!
Here's to you, Bill!
