    No replies to date!? I asked a local Indian woman who claims she can read old scripts, and she maintains it is not Indian, more likely Arabic. Anyone posted to the middle-east have any ideas? It is 13 m.m. diameter.

    Hands off! I want it!!!

    Just ordered from W.H.Smiths in Whitehaven. Told "the supplier says The re-supply will not be until 3rd December This seems to say they had it in in the first place!! I think someone is telling porkies!

    Check out this one, especially the postage costs!! Sorry! The link does't work. but look anyway! http___cgi.ebay.co.uk_ws_eBayISAPI.dll_ViewItem_category_58523_item_3942107087_rd_1

    When it's done, you have a customer here!!!

    I notice that part 2 is going to cover silver coins. Is there any plan to carry on with the base metal series of part 1 up to the collapse of the empire(s)?
  7. Geordie582
    I think that when you get around to the minimi it will be difficult to show them actual size! I always size my coins using the 'largest diameter' principal. For example, I've just identified one at 8mm diameter. The inscriptions can only be read with the aid of a magnifier!

    I'm using a small segment of ruler included in the photograph. In centimetres of course, to satisfy the EU! But this does not have to be for each coin, as I intend to use. It could quite as well just be across the bottom of each page (using "header & footer" facility!)

    Sorry Chris! Unintentional I assure you. I am in splendid isolation here so will not copy to anyone. I suggest that a suitable scale be added, something missing from all numismatic books I've seen. Useful in research of earlier hammered/roman/byzantine coins that do vary and reproduction, on computer and print, is rarely accurate! I did try to download a pic but site constraints prevented this!

    I've downloaded and printed the book and think it would be a great general reference for the Roman collector. I've already refered to it for ascribing coins, so far just to confirm the original assessment. Worthwhile I'd say. There may be many more out there in 'predecimal land' than you think! When do you think the next chapter will be ready??

    I'm surprised you lot haven't claimed compensation for dammage to your lungs from chalk dust. Perhaps there's still time...........?

    Just Nanny Blair using his umbrella again and floating over the countryside dispensing more regulations or bed without your milk.

    I was caned regularly "in the old days", usually for not doing my homework, or getting it all wrong. Resented it then, but am grateful they woke me up to the importance of education!

    Another of my aquisitions. Could it be another Indian State? Any thoughts Kuhli?
  15. Geordie582
    Does that make me a Hammerphobe or a Hammerhead??
  16. Geordie582
    Bring back the cane!!!
  17. Geordie582
    Didn you browse the catalogue prices??? Oh! to be a millionaire!
  18. Geordie582
    By the way,... None of you picked up on the typing error! It should be Henry III!
  19. Geordie582
    I guess I can't sell it to you folk as gold - could I??? No, Just the result of using tungsten light when photographing. Of course I could have put it on Paintshop Pro and 'adjusted' the colour,tone,brilliance,contrast...............
  20. Geordie582
    Just kidding!
  21. Geordie582
    Welshguy, No, I'm afraid I look for the bottom end of the coin market on e-bay and try to identify them! I've had some ggod ones too ( and some rubbish!) I'm pretty certain the coin shown is, as shown on the Colchester web site, belonging to Ferdinand possible a half real as you said, and c.1455 Guest, can you post a picture? As a guest I couldn't manage it!! Wonder why?
  22. Geordie582
    Dejavue!! Sorry about that . Here is the coin in question. Notice, I'm back, Chris??!!
  23. Geordie582
    That'll be great. My PC has no problem though. Will it change too?
  24. Geordie582
    Chris, I'm going to Texas for 6 weeks next year. I suppose I'll be able to join the Forum as a guest from there - on someone-else's computer??
  25. Geordie582
    All this rush to spend money on a book when you could put it towards another coin. Do what I do! Wait until about July when the local library will stock it!! They also have back numbers!
