There's a couple of threads attempting it over on the US forum.

Consensus seems to be it's a very good artificial mansplainer - unwaveringly confident in it's "facts", even though the facts may be completely and utterly wrong, or irrelevant to the question.

It needs more (a) fact-checking and logic-checking, and (b) some capacity to express uncertainty if the answers it finds are debated or ambiguous.

I think it's far more likely to be "wrong" about facts about world and ancient coins, than US coins, simply because there's far more material to work from on the Internet for US coins.

Why would anyone want to join a place that just wants to collect data on you to sell to someone else. You'll be engulfed by spam or scams from now until tomorrow.

Why would someone want to join a place that is only in it to collect personnel data and wants? You'll be engulfed in spam and scammers forever.
