Hi Dennis (Wierzba),
This is more of an open letter to the colonialcoins and C4online
groups in response to recent postings and your specific question:
A project such as you propose is a definite possibility.
ValueWeb is the ISP for the C4 website. They offer 1,000 Megabyte
plans for $79.95 a month. I've used such a plan for my CoinFacts
website (www.coinfacts.com) for three years now and have found them
to be stable, reliable, and responsive. In addition, as memory has
become less expensive over the years, so have their plans. For
example, just a year and a half ago I was paying $129.95 for 500
Megabytes of storage.
1,000 Megabytes will allow roughly 4,000 images (assuming 250
Kilobytes per) or 2,000 coins front and back. Larger images will
require more space; smaller images will require less.
The amount of time required for such a project is substantial. I'm
trying to do the same thing on the CoinFacts website except that all
I'm including are the finest examples I can find of a particular
variety, plus significant die states. However, I'm attempting to do
it for all U.S. coins, not just Colonials. Many thousands of man-
hours have gone into the CoinFacts site and I expect many more
thousands of hours in the future.
If anyone would like to step forward to take on this project for C4,
I'd be happy to coach them. Ideally, you should have plenty of time
on your hands, a fast connection (cable modem or DSL), and you'll
need a copy of Frontpage with which to edit the HTML (I think this
program is available for $125 or less if you don't already have it).
In the meantime, I'll continue building the CoinFacts site for those
of you who are hungry for something in the meantime. I'd love to
hear from anyone with nice images or content and I invite everyone to
use and enjoy this free resource.
Best wishes,
Ron Guth
