Its been difficult, but I've managed to make a list of my favorite posts for 2015 (SO FAR).
I decided not to include coins that you just bought or are finally getting around to photographing, unless you had a story to tell or the post was very informative.
You all post amazing coins all the time! This list would be too long!
So these links, in NO particular order, are threads started in 2015 or LATE December that I felt were fantastic posts.
This list will continue to the end of the year, and I might do a poll for "OP OF THE YEAR".
I just might do a prize as well to the winner.
Take a look at some fantastic posts from 2015(and late 2014)!

I no longer write as much as I used to in former years since one knuckleheads post can make your thread poof and I don't need the typing practice
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
That's quite a list Bodin. Now I'm compelled to check every link. Sheesh.
"If I say something in the woods and my wife isn't there to hear it.....am I still wrong?"
My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
<< <i>I also think this post here should have made the list. >>
Holy infinite loop, Batman!
I think maybe 10 should be the limit?
to me, Langbords Win was a terrific post.

<< <i>Did I offend everyone? BUMP >>
Yes, people now know I am associated with numismatic toiletry.

If you do say so yourself?
Glad you're still with us, Rick.

I agree.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
I don't want to bump an old thread, but the one about TDN getting his dollar collection back was one of my favorites. There are not enough adjectives to describe his coins! Truely an amazing accomplishment!
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

1. Thank you for noticing. I did put a lot of time into it, but I feel that its worth it to bring attention to some of the fantastic threads from this year.
2. PLEASE, I want you to bump an old thread. They should be read, especially if you think it's worth commenting on, bring it to the front of the line again.
IMO, of course
