[QUOTE="Tim C, post: 2100989, member: 71569"]Yes I am aware of the “Variety Vista” web site and visit it several times a week. There is no “THEY” at Variety Vista, it is owned and solely operated by Dr. James Wiles. To give credit where credit is due, there is no “combining of efforts of several coin sites and many coin-heads” at Variety Vista, the entire site is maintained by and all of the books on the site are authored by Dr. James Wiles himself. Several of the books Dr. Wiles has voluntarily made access free while others are for sale and he charges a modest fee for. I wouldn’t say that Dr. Wiles updates the information on the site regularly; the last time that the “CONECA Master Listing” was updated on was 03/17/2014 (nearly one year ago). I do understand that “time” is a limited resource for Dr. Wiles, with trying to work on several book projects, attributing coins for individuals (just last month we sent in a box with over fifty Kennedy half dollars to be attributed), maintaining his regular job plus his family obligations I imagine Dr. Wiles will update the CONECA listings when time permits. Not taking anything away from Variety Vista, the purpose of this thread was to give credit to NGC for building a photo resource of different markers of die varieties from several different series that they recognize, several of the die varieties are not photographed on Variety Vista.[/QUOTE]
