  It's a great idea and it looks like it could be a great resource.
  
  One thing that I think could help get more contributors is clarification on what rights are being offered when contributing. When Coin Facts Wiki first launched, I was interested in contributing so I asked what the license was for contributions, however, there was no answer at the time and it isn't listed on the Coin Facts Wiki site yet.
  
  I've contributed information to Wikipedia and other sites, including numismatic information. The sites I contribute to have information on usage policies for contributions so it's clear what rights you are providing for your contributions. For example, Wikipedia's text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License which clarifies how your information and effort can be used.
  
  It may be useful to have that information to encourage more contributions.

  It may also be useful to merge Classic Coin Facts with Coin Facts Wiki. A lot of the information in Classic Coin Facts including mintages and auction records seem like the would fit at home on a wiki.
