ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 03/13/2009 2:11 pm That's better than my worst fears. I heard that the site's founder had passed away and thought that maybe it was being dissolved. I don't know how I would identify coins without that site! Richard Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/13/2009 3:05 pm It's true the founder Dave Surber passed away, he was only 49 years old. Report this Post to the Staff

For those of you who've never found or used Wildwinds before, click here and check it out.
