I will shortly be adding a few more names to the exclusive list of people that can see and have input on the 'Project CC2005' forums. Those people will be: Aethelred GDMSP wybrit See you in there! (Meanwhile if you are a forum member and are wondering what the exclusive 'Project CC2005' is, you'd better PM me!)

Ok, but it's a 1.9mb download and I'll make it available in a moment: http://www.rotographic.co.uk/1-21.PDF That works, but be aware that the printed version will of course be shades of grey, not colour. The prices are just basically from the 2004 version so pay no attention. The text in red is stuff that I know I have to change when it's completed. The fuzzy edges on the pictures are just on the PDF, when printed they are sharp and round.

I sent him the first 20 pages, because he's a nit picking git and I could think of no one better to proof read it and make me aware of any mistakes

No it can't be! His granddad was very picky....He'd turn in his grave if he heard you now ;)

Still gathering, there's no point doing any prices until I've finished laying out the book into pdf format (I'm on Page 25).

I always want to throw up when people (nearly always Americans) put 'God Bless' at the end of listings, email, websites etc. So creepy.

There are about 150 British Coins/set (mostly individual coins) in the Rotographic database now.

The 1911 Non gold proof set that I had, and sold can be seen here: http://www.predecimal.com/forsale/1911set.htm The scans are not as great as those photos, but it was a nice one too.

I don't want your bloody American toot!

If you don't upload them with the 'File attachments' option then they don't use my bandwidth.

I doubt it Jmd. It's a mistake to put a coin under the wrong denomination, but I doubt he's put a coin from the wrong country in the right denomination. Why don't you buy it, and claim a refund when a Crown turns up!

I spotted that the other day. I think he must have listed a 1981 Charles and Di Crown in the wrong section! That kind of thing wouldn't go on, on predecimal.com

I'm actually allergic to Turkey (the bird, not the country) and the last time I ate it I went into anaphilactic shock and had to have an ambulance. And that was on Christmas day! I also have a less accute problem with Chicken, which is a shame because I actully like the taste of Turkey and Chicken very much.

Thanks Geoff, To be honest all this romantic Predecimal reflection by the 11-15 year old group gets right on my @$t$ too! It should all be about economics, and if the Euro is right for the UK economically and if it will help the UK be stronger in the the world scene, then stuff the Machin head coins and lets put jobs, industrial and financial etc gain for all at the top of our priority list. However, I do think the the UK can continue to be in the strong economic position its in without the Euro (so far it certainly hasn't suffered from not being in the Euro), and I like everyone, don't like the idea of financial control being lost to Brussels. But, if we need to join the Euro boat, even temporarily, and if it can be profitable to all of us, then I really think the traditionalists need to change their mindset and stop harking. If for some reason the £ goes belly up in a South American fashion, then I would absolutely welcome a Euro currency. I don't think that will happen, and I don't think the people would vote Euro in a referendum (even if the £ did an Argentina) because most of the public are fools, and they just follow each other like pathetic sheep. Anyway, for the moment, lets keep the £ but remain realistic, it certainly does us no harm, but for gods sake, keep an open mind you lot, and stop drawing the line purely on 'Pounds look and feel sound' grounds. Your narrow mindedness scares me slightly! By the way, on Oli's political compass link website, I came out about where bloody Ghandi was, so don't argue!

I don't know much about Celtic coins, but I do know that they are 'Stater' not 'Slater' and the Quarter Stater was indeed a quarter of a Stater, the Full Stater also is thought to have existed. There is also Reference to a 'Unit' and a 'Quarter Unit'. The thing is, no one actually knows what the Celtic people called their coins because there is no written evidence. The names Stater and Unit were simply guessed at by academics based on what was used in other parts of Europe. So for all we know they called have been called 'Cows' and 'Quarter Cows'!

No, I won't because these experienced US forumees have kindly used there own bandwidth, and you'll find those pictures are all hosted on their own webspace, so they can post as many as they like without size restrictions!

What are you gonna use to keep your trousers up now?

you show me an 1806 BU penny for less then 100 pounds with full lustre! Jmd!!! £100 less, read the posts!

You know, I'll be damned! You can help me update the prices in the Collectors George III book. I'll think about giving you American members access to a secret area reserved for the discussion of my forthcoming publications But you'll have to behave though.

No, not really, I merely skimmed and recognised a place name I have a little collection of George III fakes. Nothing special though, you can see some of them on the website in the area where I wrote about them.

I think it's nice, I don't see a problem with toning if it's ended up that way because they didn't know the packaging would do that in 1911. It's original, it's part of the coin. And you're not using my bandwidth, oh thankyou so much!

That's Great stuff 'dead king'. Super coins. I was born near Eltham and lived there a few years. We used to hang around the Castle there, and walk past it on the way to the pub.

Well, in case she comes back, I won't say. Don't want to go airing dirty laundry, but it was nothing to do with the way she spoke/spelled. I said something that i think she must have taken as being quite rude.

Is that a proof, toned from being in it's case of issue? I had one like that.

What is a "regular American" Chris? I guess that means my car has a hood not a bonnet, have no "u" in my color and don't get to see the Queen at Christmas? No I meant, the last American to use this forum on a regular basis. I couldn't possibly say what a 'regular American' was, as I'm quite sure you have a diverse and varied culture, and it would be far to complicated to generalise. I'll tell you when I've been to America and seen for myself. I live in Germany, so I'm afraid I miss the Queens speech too.
