I cannot tell you how many web sites and books I have run across over the years that list completely wrong statistics and information about given coins. Even Walter Breen made more than his share of mistakes in his famous books. </p><p><br /></p><p>Part of the reason for this is that writers of books typically copy information from or refer to books previously written as can be seen in any book&#039;s bibliography. Then they attempt to add any new information based on their own studies. And web sites are even worse - for they copy information, often word for word, from each other. And if it&#039;s wrong to begin with - well you get the idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same goes for those of us who participate on these forums as we share information with others. How many times have you seen me make a mistake because I relied on my memory instead of looking something up ? I can tell you there have been more than a few incidents of this. </p><p><br /></p><p>So for those who are participating in this or any other forum - always remember - just because someone you trust or respect says something - that doesn&#039;t always make it so. Rely on your own research and your own findings - only use what you are told as a starting point.
