Electric Peak

I was surprised again to get an award. In 2000, I  bought the two-coin USA-Iceland commemorative set from the mint because I thought it was neat. That was about three years before I re-started collecting in earnest. Several years ago, I vacationed in Iceland with my wife. We really loved it. When I saw what looked like a small, easy-to-complete set in the registry, I decided to go for it as a fun diversion from my current half dime variety obsession. One of the 19 coins remains elusive. None of the participating sets have it.

Thanks, William, for remembering me! I haven't been here much for a number of years now. I guess I've been busy with other things. But when I saw my set in the list of winners, I had to come back to thank NGC for the honor. Thanks! And kudos to all the other winners, and to everyone else who puts effort into making the registry a fun and informative place.

Thanks NGC! I was surprised to see the Overall Achievement award. Much appreciated.

As the citation says, I've got a little of a fair number of things. But I have been concentrating on Liberty Seated Half Dime varieties lately, hence the large number of sets in that category. I plan to improve the informational content of my sets, starting with my best half dimes. So far, this has been limited to better photography. As time permits, the descriptions will be improved. 

Congratulations to all the award winners. The effort you and many others put into your collecting and into the NGC Registry make this a great place to spend some hobby time! It's great that we have so many different interests represented. Keep up the good work!
