I was saying that a lot of the good information out there is in books and under copyright...so if anyone tried to assemble such a website it would be very hard. I use almost exclusively books and rely very little on the internet. __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   11-20-2009, 01:42 PM   #19 (permalink) mikenoodle 20th Century Key Date Guy     Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Chicago Posts: 3,221 My Mood: I would also add that the books information will be generally more reliable than a website __________________ When you see a man on top of a mountain realize that he wasn't just dropped there. - Unknown   11-20-2009, 01:51 PM   #20 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,793 My Mood: Quote: Not to mention a lot of the information out there is copyrighted...so it would be very hard to assemble such a site without doing ALL the research yourself. Of course a fact can not be copyrighted - and while I know some of the big guys in coin collecting strongly disagree with that, and fight it, they really can't do much about it. I guess if they want to sue you they will just have to prove that they were lieing, and that it really isn't what they said it was!

I just think you have to be very careful if someone wanted to create a large online database full of information that was previously only available in books. It seems like one could easily get into trouble. __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   11-20-2009, 04:04 PM   #22 (permalink) mikenoodle 20th Century Key Date Guy     Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Chicago Posts: 3,221 My Mood: one of the best grading sites I have ever seen is this one: http://coinauctionshelp.com/US_Coin_Grading_Guides.html __________________ When you see a man on top of a mountain realize that he wasn't just dropped there. - Unknown   11-21-2009, 07:28 AM   #23 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,653 Quote: Originally Posted by mikenoodle I would also add that the books information will be generally more reliable than a website Unless it's the books that ARE on-line - http://www.stellacoinnews.com - __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Page 2 of 2 < 1 2 Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
