[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 170947, member: 4350"]Trying to be the first at a new discovery is a tough one with so many different people doing attributions. I hear that there is a movement afoot to figure out a way to cross reference some of the new things that are turning up so that the real first finder can get the credit for the discovery. I think it is a fun thing to be able to contribute new information to the variety hobby. I am in the same boat as many of the other folks out there. Remember that I am a collector with the fortunate situation of being able to write about the coins I find in rolls. I am sitting on so many new discoveries that really are new but even I am not sure what to do with them. I've worked with Ken Potter, JT Stanton, John Wexler, Billy Crawford, (through wexler) and although I havent had the occasion to work with him yet, I understand that John Bordner is attributing halves. I have stuff here that is not listed anywhere. Many of us who search rolls and find good, new varieties can get frustrated at times with the complicated procedure of getting a new discovery recognized. I think that even the great numismatists that do the attributions have to have a tough time trying to figure out what is in the files of their colleagues. There is no doubt that this is one of the areas of our hobby that is growing but is also a little complicated. I have a feeling that at some point, if there isn't already, there will be an effort made to get all the information together in one place. Knowing for example that there are hundreds of RPMs and Doubled Dies that would have to be cross referenced, the task seems pretty daunting. Bill[/QUOTE]
