Decimal Coins wanted for images.

[Chris Perkins 223]

I'm collaborating with Kuhli on a 'Check Your Change 2007 - Decimal Coinage' book and I need some coins to provide images in the book. I had all the types from Half Pence to 25p crown, but I need quite a few of the commemorative types. Kuhli also has a lot, but he's in the USA so it would probably be expensive to send them.

So, can anyone provide me with any of the coins listed below by post? (I'll send them back registered with a cheque for your postage to me). At the time of writing I need 38 coins (Should be UNC at least, or even proof if you don't have the standard type):

1998 EU 50p

1998 NHS 50p

2003 Suffragette 50p (GEORDIE ON THE CASE)

2004 4 min mile 50p (GEORDIE ON THE CASE)

2005 Dictionary 50p (GEORDIE ON THE CASE)

1995 or 2000 £1 (FOUND ONE!)

I've got the Bill of Rights, Bank of England, and the Victoria 2001 £5. The thing is, they are all in the Mint packaging so photography might be a tad difficult.

I can provide the above, EF/UNC, if you wish. I have the others, but I don't think they are up to publishing standard, being VF or VF+. Let me know & I;ll post them off. The £5's are in 2x2's but releasing them wont worry me. I'll just replace them in their prisons when they return!

[Chris Perkins 223]

Go for it Geordie, that would be a huge help!

Send them all airsure, properly insured, to reach me in Germany before the 5th June if you can....Or if not, I'll be in the UK and can give you a UK address.

Oli...If the packaging is completely clear it might be possible. I can set a thing up on my camera to focus at a certain point, so that it will hopefully focus on the coin, not the plastic. I've not really tried it though, so perhaps a coupld of naked ones will come along.

[Geordie582 18]

OK! I'll send them off on Tuesday. Bank holidays you know!

[Chris Perkins 223]

Ah yes, so it is.

It's not really a major prob should they arrive here when I'm in the UK.

Most of mine are in mint packaging, too. I will try a couple scans as TIF, through the packaging, and see how that works. Might be doable.

Got the afternoon off, so I can do some right now.

[Chris Perkins 223]

Ok, Kuhli, give it a go. I generally find that the results aren't great behind plastic.
