I/We (all the moderators) have been very quietly discussing the first AWARD OF EXCELLENCE being bestowed upon Daniel Carr and the Moonlight Mint. I am honored to be the one to announce such an award has been purchased and mailed to our very own Daniel Carr on February 25th. The official date on the award is February 28th, 2009. Words cannot express our appreciation for Daniels help in bringing our 2007 and 2008 medallion quests to reality. He has gone above and beyond what any other medallion manufacturer or mint would have done for this internet group. Hopefully soon we will have photos posted of this very very unique award and the engraving in which it carries. I/We will never be able to thank him enough for his willingness to work with a bunch of strangers, united by their love of numismatics, who sought that which has never been done before. And now it has been done twice! On behalf of CoinCrusader, Nevol, Humpybong, TKO and myself I thank you for your dedication to this project. And on behalf of each of you we elected to make this award possible. Our goal was to surprise Daniel and to do that we had to remain silent (private emails) and hope that each of you would feel exactly as we did when making this decision. To Daniel Carr, whom we know will eventually read this posting, we would say, "Thank you for your craftsmanship, your trust and faith in this group, and your service". We hold the end results of our relationship with you and your business in our collection as a reminder of many things that we could only find right here in our KOTCT Castle. We are truly proud to have been a part of these impossible quests which together we made possible.
