NEW site feature!!

[coppercoins]

Okay, so I've been getting off my duff for over a year now. Some of us are just slow at taking requests.

Anyhow, I have JUST added a couple of new columns into the die information table of the website - they are cross references to two of the most recognized die variety systems that were not already listed on the site...

One of them is the Cherrypicker's Guide listing. This book has proven itself a mainstay in the market and I think it is an important add to the site for that reason alone.

The other is the numbering system of my esteemed colleague Billy G. Crawford, who many of you have wither dealt with or know through his articles in various periodicals. Billy wrote a die reference book containing a vast number of die varieties, and I am proud to have his help in referencing his system here on coppercoins.

NOW....one thing about this addition to the site. Obviously all the die numbers cannot be entered in one day...so, I have made ALL of the dies cross reference to "unknown" in these two categories until I can get the die numbers properly cross referenced. You will notice that I have already started on the CPG listings, and that will continue over the next few days until I am finished. Mr. Crawford and I will have to work together to get the cross references to his system up to date.

I hope you enjoy the site and rest assured that I am always thinking about it, you folks, and how I can make it work better for you folks. Have fun!!

Just want to say: fantastic ... great reference.

The cross referencing to the FS (CPG) system is complete for the time being. I will need to get with JT to see if there are any listings that were not in the CPG that I could add here.

I am still working on contacting Billy to see how we can work out crossing to his system. I'll be getting on that as soon as I receive some information from him.

Very cool Chuck.

Fivaz told me during the FUN show that in the second volume of the 4th edition of the CPG, there was going to be a part that would include all new additions to his listings from half cents to nickels, but without pictures. There would only be a description of each variety. I guess it was to make up for the tardiness of the 2nd volume.

I was wondering if Crawford would include cross-reference to your listings in his upcomming publication, and on his websites and on his ebay auctions.
