Don't forget that Dane has to process all the submissions manually, so
they won't appear on WildWinds instantly. But contributions are
appreciated.

Grand con man nullifies Bill Welch's simply-named yoghurt!
With all the changes to Coin Archives in the last few days, I decided to sit down with AJ today and get a guided tour of the new Coin Archives. So today I paid...

Brian & Barry - Thanks for the insight. I have been collecting images of some coins for a die study & got several from Coin Archives, so you can image my...
Dear List, The changes at coinarchives is another example of the Ancient Coin business serving only the elites and ignoring the great masses of collectors. ...
... said some other changes will be coming in the near future. The $600 may seem like a lot, but it's only $50/month and much less than say a set of RIC or BMC...
Given that for most of us, Coin Archives is a thing of the past, we ought consider what is now best to do. I suggest we start by contributing to Wildwinds to...
... I agree. I think it would be a great idea for all those in the entire ancient coin collecting community concerned about this to come together to support...
Hey David/All: As was previously mentioned on this list by Chris Hopkins and Tony Jaworsky, about two and a half years ago I started designing a numismatic...
Hey Alfredo, This sounds like a great site, a collaborative venture is definitely something that will allow the most information to be entered over the long...
In a "limited" way we have taken this into consideration. There are currently five optional fields which are in place and which are private by default, but...
Alfredo, There are two ways to go about tracking hoard information, one it to add a field somewhere and then make it indexable/searchable. But, in my view,...
Hi Jorg, One has to be very careful with ownership details. After conferring with Oxford over the details of the Celtic Coin Index, we agreed that the only...
Hi John, Well the details are really there as a possibility in the model. It's not terribly important that every owner of any given coin is know, it's more...
Hi Jorg, Being able to identify a collector (even anonymously, like "collector #39") has its use in determining the style and importances of a collection. Of...
After several very compelling arguments I have decided to recommend to the team that we remove the fields with identifying information. My reasoning has...
Wise choice, Alfred. The cultural property argument is really a no starter anyway. Everyone with any knowledge of the subject at all knows that most ancient...
As PC computing moves into the cloud it will be interesting to see how security is addressed. I personaly think you don't have to worry with bought from type...
Hi John, I think we are in agreement with the kind of data association we'd like to see and with the fact that currently you're not going to get museum...
Early on in the life of this project I discussed with the initial team members approaching one of the "institutions" to "own" the project. The primary reason...
I hope that the organizations and museums will work with us collectors as from my point of view as a collector I have donated ancients to four museums: Greek...
Good for you. While you're at it, never neglect to donate to the Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge University. You can do it through Cambridge in America, a NY...
Dr. Buttrey: Thank you for your kind note and willingness to be helpful in identification of coins. I am going to donate one coin to you in an effort to...
Hi Jorg, Getting a collector-driven site to surpass an institutional site really depends on how dedicated an institution is to provide the information to the...
Considering the hunger Paul Barford and others of his ilk have for obtaining this sort of traceability information, caution is necessary to insure that it does...
It sounds very interesting Alfredo! I look forward to being able to try the site out as soon as you are ready. If you need any Constantinian/contemporary...
I have been involved with this project since its inception and am very excited about how far we've come, and where we're going. One thing Alfred neglected to...
