October 5, 2015: "Connoisseurship"

Author:
M. Ontiveros

Concept:
Our guest author latched onto this deluxe ‘ship’ coin and lobbed captions at us at a furious pace until absolutely nailing it with this aspirational, high end, nautical number which perfectly fit this nicely toned, near-gem 17th century Dutch coin.

Which begs the question we hear multiple times at every show: "Hey, how do I become a CRO ad caption author?". Well, it’s not that difficult – just pick a coin currently on the site which has not previously been in an ad, or some future coin type you think we’d handle, and suggest away. If you come up with something we like enough to use, you’ll receive author credit in the ad archive, a CRO hat, and our sincere gratitude.

Captions that didn’t make the cut:
There were many, most notable of which was "Ship Ahoy!", which of course could not be used here since that caption already appeared in a CRO ad in January of 2014.

So, would-be ad caption writers, keep that in mind and peruse the old ads here in the archive to see if your idea has been used already.
