Type Set Coin Collecting Wiki

I would like to let everyone know about a Type Set Coin Collecting Wiki created by a friend of mine. If anyone is interested, please check out the site and join if you wish. If anyone would like to help with photos or other content without joining, or has any questions, please contact me by PM and I will respond as soon as possible. Thanks to anyone who would like to help or just check out the site. For some reason, the link to the site posted to the very bottom of the post below the list of coins and I can't seem to put it up here where I wanted it.

The following message is from the site creator Ken:

"I created a wiki website for coins. Maintenance of the site is done by myself and some Coin Collectors Unite members (we have 187 coin descriptions) and the only thing holding us back are photos. The intent of the site is to provide free information as well as sharing ideas or tools. This has been a fantastic & fun project as content is created by collectors and not just a re-hash of someone else's work . Anyone that wishes to add more info can join for free to create or edit pages with no obligations.

If anyone wants to donate some photos it would be an incredible contribution that would be greatly appreciated. Also if you would like credit and a courtesy link to a store or other site on the page (example: Courtesy of Joe's Coin Store) let me know and we can make it happen. The list below are coins we need help with:
