New nominations will be added to the poll.

You may change your vote in the course of the year.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

As I would never vote for myself, I have two votes for two themes.  ;D

But as both other themes deserve it well, I voted for them.  :D

This is all a little uneven as I of course am biased towards tokens and similarly others would be biased towards other coins.

I think perhaps we should have the Australian preferential voting system?

With our recent election, for instance, the Car owners party got only 1% of the vote but got their candidate into parliament!  ???  ::)

Have a look at  my tokens and my banknotes.

Well, if you know you are biased, do something about it. Think before you vote.

It is important to recall that this is not a popularity contest. There is no first, second and third place. The only purpose is to decide which articles will make it to the "Best of World of Coins" board. The agreed threshold is 0.5% of the membership, which is 10 votes. By that standard, all three will fail to attract enough votes before the deadline. However, we started this process only in September, not in January 2013. Taking that into account, the threshold for qualification can be lowered to four votes. In view of the quality of the articles proposed, I would have no problem with that...

There is a link in the nomination threads on this board. I am repeating them here:

http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,22779.0.html
http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,23067.0.html
http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,24960.0.html

The threads on this board also explain why the nominator (me, in all three cases, but anyone can nominate) think they are worthy of support.

In fact all the 3 article are exceptionally fantastic and deserves best .However if voting options would have been for  3 , I would vote for all the 3. But due to limitations to vote for 2 only ,so no choice.
I just  voted for 2.
Cheers ;D

Indeed, all three are exceptional and deserve induction in our hall of fame. Voting for 2013 articles is now closed. The three authors will be contacted by the moderator of this board (when he returns home.)

Congratulations to Harry, natko and Afrasi!
