Yes, dust is a big problem. I shouted out load several times because the frustration... The original image with 1200 dpi would be perfect!!!

Many thanks for your kind words. I realized that this is a life time project At this stage it becomes very tedious to find and to afford missing rarities, gold coins, Maundy Money, modern bullion and commemorative coins (minted in precious metals)

That would be great! And please PM me your name for the acknowledgements

I tried to make contact via PM a few minutes ago

Hi Mark. Yes, over the years I searched for pictures provided by collectors, dealers and auction houses.

Hi folks. You might know that I started to write a disquisition on British coinage as a kind of spare time project. Two more authors from Canada and the United Kingdom (that person is a member of this forum as well) are involved in this long term project by now. Our aim is to show every minted denomination, year and variation. Our work covers the era of the monarchs Edward VII to Elizabeth II, having a volume of 300 pages with more than 2,000 coloured coin pictures plus numerous B/W images in order to show variations in more detail. The book is intended to be a reference for coin collectors without evaluations. That project is time and money consuming. We need high resolution scans of Maundy Money minted in the 20th and 21st century. I own a dozen of sets already, but it will be impossible to by every date set in a reasonable time scale. Can anyone here provide us with picture material of high grade stuff? Please let me know. We would give credit to any provided pictures of course. Cheers Christoph

Volker Pispers gets the point quite quickly. It is political cabaret, very precise, at the point and without mercy. The second video (the first part of a documentary shown in television) has english sketches in between, the third video is entirely in English.

Just have a look onto the vids

There are persistent rumors that Germans do not have any kind of humor.... Just trying to prove the opposite Volker Pispers Michael Mittermeier Just for laughs (Part 1)

Dearest Mother, I am writing this in the trenches in my ‘dug out’ – with a wood fire going and plenty of straw it is rather cosy, although it is freezing hard and real Christmas weather. I think I have seen today one of the most extraordinary sights that anyone has ever seen. About 10 o’clock this morning I was peeping over the parapet when I saw a German, waving his arms, and presently two of them got out of their trench and came towards ours. We were just going to fire on them when we saw they had no rifles, so one of our men went to meet them and in about two minutes the ground between the two lines of trenches was swarming with men and officers of both sides, shaking hands and wishing each other a happy Christmas. This continued for about half an hour when most of the men were ordered back to the trenches. For the rest of the day nobody has fired a shot and the men have been wandering about at will on the top of the parapet and carrying straw and firewood about in the open – we have also had joint burial parties with a service for some dead, some German and some ours, who were lying out between the lines. I don’t know how long it will go on for – I believe it was supposed to stop yesterday, but we can hear no firing going on along the front today except a little distant shelling. We are, at any rate, having another truce on New Year’s Day, as the Germans want to see how the photos come out! The Germans in this part of the line are sportsmen if they are nothing else written by Alfred Dougan Chater in 1914 Found at http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/24/-sp-letter-extraordinary-sights-christmas-day-first-world-war-truce Merry Christmas and a happy new year! May be luck, peace & healthfulness with all of you
