<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 193550, member: 66&quot;]For two years I did the National Census of early date large cent collections.&nbsp; Naturally it was mostly EAC members participating.&nbsp; Now the EAC is known for our willingness to share information, and the census was open to all early date collections of any size (I had expanded the census.&nbsp; Before that you had to have 150 varieties to be included).&nbsp; Out of a membership of 1400, we had 108 collections reported.&nbsp; To help with security it was a &quot;give to get&quot; arrangement.&nbsp; The only way to get a copy of the census was to provide your own information, and the collectors addresses were not available.&nbsp; Collections were identified by initials.</p><p><br /></p><p>But in an open information sharing group we still achieved a less than 1% rate of participation.&nbsp; (But it did represent most of the major collections.)&nbsp; What do you think you&#039;ll get with a general census?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
