NOTE: We have started building the long awaited database of the collection. You can search through the few coins there now and rest assured that all the collection will be in the database in time. We are using an excellent web based perl program for this purpose and we would urge any and all to try it out. We don't usually endorse products on this site, but this is an exception that we gladly make. It is very easy to set up and very powerful and flexible as you will see. Best of all, you can try the program free for 30 days. Time permitting, we will try to help if you run in to problems, but the owner (Rob Young) is very responsive and willing to help as well. You will need a basic knowledge of HTML and to know how to use FTP to transfer files to your server, but no PERL/cgi knowledge is needed. You can try the program here for free for 30 days: WEBDATA
