That's a massive jump since last time, I know. This time however, I've concentrated on the text, so the images are just circles to calculate space. I have also yet to complete the image captions.

As usual, prices are not correct yet.

It's coming along, almost finished the text for section 1 (Circulation coins and mass produced 'easy' proofs)

When I opened it, it looked immediately sharper - don't know if that's just me or whether you've changed the res but it looks better! Anyway, to nitpicking:

(starting from pg25)

25 - Listed as Young Head then on 26 as Young head

27 - Text box on right looks odd - "differentiate" needs to be aligned with the rest

28 - "re-melted" implies that the 1944 ones had been melted previously - "melted down" would be better

36 - "moto" should be "motto"

38 - "Long tailed 'Q' in 'QUE'" I reckon you could just get away with putting "long tailed 'Q'"

42 - Nice touch with the numerals and numbers

44 - Don't know what's going on with the 1907 mintage

47 - "Bust|" doesn't need to be capitalised. 1817 "moto" should be "motto"

Excellent anyway - not as many mistakes etc plus it looks super! Well done!

Well that just about finished my computer off, not very dial-up friendly! :D

I'll probably have to wait about 1/2 an hour for that to load, i'll just nip into uni in a day or two and have a look on their cable connection computers. ;)

Right, corrected those. I better get on with adding some pictures.

By the way, pleased you liked the Roman numerals in the Gothic florin section becaue I paid £22 for the font, just to use on 2 pages!

Roman numerals are fairly easy to translate into normal numbers, but I like having both the date in normal and roman numerals - I haven't seen it in any other reference work.

Well actually it wasn't my idea. If you look, Marles already has bi-dates in the 2004 CCGB, and has done since the early 70's I think. It's especially helpful for those people that get confused by Roman numerals, and I know there are lots of those!

Coincraft has them in both too. I thought it was pretty much the norm to have both numbers present?

I've just got Spink, which doesn't. I've flicked through Coincraft but not at the gothic bits.
