Indeed there is a lot of information there, but it isn't yet 'complete' - like I said above. It is designed to be an instant 'look-up' for just about anything modern. Although I can take most of the credit for the technical part of making it work, the site was the idea of, and belongs to John Maben. If it had not been for his idea to make this work, it would not be there. All told, there was actually a team of people behind the whole thing: John Maben - owner of JMRC, Inc. out of Sarasota, Florida, also owner of www.moderncoinmart.com is the initial 'thought power' behind the site, and the reason why much of the detail is there. He's very detail oriented and thought through what people could use and had me implement it. George FitzGerald - A young and bunting programmer, coin photographer, and numismatist. His 'learning piece' was this site, and I think he did a great job helping out with the programming. David Lange - Some may know him for his research into a number of subjects, or his books through Whitman, or even his worth through NGC. At any rate, he's one of the most respected numismatic researchers of his time. He wrote most of the historically rich 'overviews' on the site, and there are yet others to add. NGC staff membes Scott Schechter and Sam Yochem helped ensure I had good NGC data from which I built the database. Dennis Baker from Numismedia is responsible for providing us our value data. Jeremy Katz was the original project lead and helped with the initial design of the site. Edited by coppercoins

Just as a clarification: I am not the leader of this team, I am the developer. It was John's idea, I just made it happen. Abd to L1011: The site revolves around the idea of "modern coins", which technically in this case is just those coins currently or recently made that go back to 1950. The only reason any of the information goes back past that date is to include an entire series where necessary. It would be odd to include Roosevelt dime information only back to 1950 when the series began in 1946. But since Franklin half dollars are not a current series, they will not be included. All of the general series information on the site is what we are working with until a new series comes along...such as palladium coins, should the Mint decide to make any. |

This will be a great resource for many of us and especially for those just starting out and wanting to get a little more information without spending the extra money. Whoever is paying for it is also a saint because the cost of putting this up, maintaining it and paying for the different services can not be cheap as well, thanks again to all involved.
