Hey, any one embarrassed yet?

The Toned Coin Showcase judging was suppose to end on July 15th. Not that I figured to win, but come-on-man...it ain't done?
It's now August 16th, four plus weeks after judging, and still no announcements.

Collectors took the time to post their sets and we're not ready to make an announcement? All I'll hear is the sound of crickets.

I'd be embarrassed, if I were you...

Yes, I'm embarrassed and I promise to try harder in the future.

Jzyskowski1 · August 16, 2021 4:22PM

Shades of mom “shame on you. you should be ashamed of yourself “. Ah the good old days of seen but not heard 🙀😂 wow do you think their taking the old adage to heart

ColonelJessup · August 16, 2021 4:23PM

I've been embarrassed by some of the things I've said in my last 173 posts, but not about that.

Smudge · August 16, 2021 4:34PM

Yes.

Nothing be workin anymore, man😎

jwitten · August 16, 2021 6:07PM

I’ve been wondering about it too

bolivarshagnasty · August 16, 2021 6:47PM

No excuse. The last day to participate was June 30th.

bolivarshagnasty · August 16, 2021 6:53PM

Do we know who was judging, the Sponsors or our Host?

I’m guessing our host. TDN was asked about it in another thread and had no knowledge of it and guessed that it was just something Legend sponsored.

Sort of sounds like the Afghanistan excuses to me.

Will we be graced with the current relatively new “one-size fits all” excuse since co-vid that a lot of people and companies are falling back on. Whether it is valid or truthful or not….we have all gotten used to excuses being because of labor or material shortages.

I would assume they will announce registry awards and the toned showcase winners at the same time. Looks like they are running a few days behind, as the awards were supposed to coincide with the ANA.

It took decades for the participants' coins to turn those beautiful rainbow colors. Be patient. Another week or two won't kill you.

Centuries in some cases

So what was everyone’s favorite showcase for a people’s choice award?

For me, I loved seeing a bunch of amazing toned Morgans I hadn’t seen before, but @AuroraBorealis had some predictably insane Morgans that were a joy to see and the Black Cat toned coins were absolutely spectacular from a type coin perspective. So many cool coins!!!

Might actually get some answers if you post on the registry forum and/or tag someone who's involved with the registry from the mod perspective.
