Webpage Berg!

[Berg]

Well as my webpage is rather new aswell I thought I just could toss it up here aswell for you to comment

Its not as fancy as Jmds cause I can merely figure out the basics of HTML and it is on swedish although Im trying to set up a limited enlish version aswell.

In short be easy on me but dont be afraid to come with ideas.

Thanks for adding the link to my website, I shall do the same for yours on mine Although I cannot read it, it looks as if it is coming allong quite nicely

[TomGoodheart]

Cool!! A whole new (admittedly incomprehensible) world!!

(Nice site Berg)

Hej Berg,

I was able to make sense of a fair amount of it - I don't speak Swedish but I've some experience of other Scandinavian languages and the linguistic leap isn't that big.

It looks good so far. Not quite sure about the yoghurt - a whipped mixture of coins and "sedlar"? Sedlar's not in my dictionary, so can you explain please.

Tack! Geoff

[Berg]

Tom - Thank you

Geoff - You seem to understand the scandinavian languages very well Im beginning to become a bit interested how that could be? And yes they do not differ much from eichother although it may be hard to understand when spoken it is very similar in writing and if you learn about a few words that differs you mostly understand it perfectly good. When e-mailing other scandianavians I often use swedish and they reply in their own langauge.

As for sedlar I believe you call it notes in english. Yoghurt - a whipped mixture of coins and notes.. yea I know Yoghurt... odd... but I didnt want anything ordinary like Berghs Coin and Note Board

Johan,

I really like the looks of your site, thus far.

You have broken image links: several of the Norwegian kronor images do not show up. you need to modify your HTML code to include the sub-folder for the images.

For example, you have:

<IMG SRC="Bilder/no1963.JPG">

what you need to have is:

<IMG SRC="Bilder/nokronor/no1963.JPG">

I don't understand Swedish, but am fluent in HTML

A few more little things I have noticed while browsing your site (and yes, I am a nitpicker, just like Oli)

For your Soviet type-set, you overlooked the following:

2 kopeck 1935-1936

3 kopeck 1935-1936

5 kopeck 1935-1936

Also, all of the 1967 50th anniversary issues, which include 10, 15, 20, 50 kopeck.

Another thing I noticed, sometimes, you note specific years, sometimes, you don't. For example, for the ½ kopeck, you note the years being "1925, 1927-28"; for the 10 kopeck, you note the years being "1924-25, 1927-31". These 2 examples show that there were years when they weren't minted, which is valuable information to know. But for several issues, this information is not presented. For example, you have the 1 kopeck noted as "1937-46", which is technically not correct, and should be "1937-41, 1945-46", since there were none issued in 1942-44. This is the case on several issues during WWII. Another note is that there were no coins minted in 1963, except 1 and 2 kopeck, and the only coins minted in 1964 were the 1,2, and 50 kopeck. So the 3,5,10,15 and 20 kopecks should be noted as "1961-62, 1965-91".

I don't know how extensive your Soviet collection is, but if you need photos of any of the types that you don't have photos already posted, I can help with some of them.

One more omission noted: Vichy France also issued 10 and 20 centime pieces in zinc:

10 centime

1941-1943 same size as pre-WWII issues, center hole, obverse has "Etat Francais", reverse has "10 centimes" and date.

1943-44 smaller size, same design as above.

20 centime

1941 center hole, obverse has "Etat Francais", reverse has "VINGT centimes" and date.

1941-44, similar to above, denomination as "20 centimes"

Another thing is that you have set hyperlinks to go white when clicked. This means that they go invisible to the white background

Hej Berg,

I have to have a good knowledge of languages for my job as an academic music librarian. As it happens where I work we have one of the largest collections of Scandinavian material in the UK.

About 15 years ago I started to write liner notes for a Danish CD company through a contact here. I write in English, but I decided it would be helpful to learn some Danish, at least to be able to read it, and I discovered that it was a very easy language, at least for an English speaker who has good German. From there it became simple to be able to read Norwegian and, to a slightly lesser extent, Swedish.

Speaking those languages is quite another matter. In Danish especially there is a big difference between what you see and what you hear, just like in English, and it makes you realise how difficult spoken English must be for a non-native speaker. Having said that, I've never met a Scandinavian whose spoken English wasn't extremely good.

Med vanlig halsning - Geoff (sorry, no dots!)

Aye, thoose I am aware of. I came to a point when I saw my web-site grow in such a way that i needed new sub-folders thus I havent been able to redirect all pics yet but thanks for noticing.

[Berg]

Thank you Scott, that info is worth its weight in gold for me. As swedish is a small language there are very little good litterature on swedish about foreign currency so the "flaws" in my soviet collection was due to missing knowledge about thoose types. Visiting other swedish coin related webpages (via my links) you will see that pretty much most of them is about swedish coins (some in scandinavian aswell)... basicly the people that collects foreign coins are few over here and the knowledge about them follows that pattern. Im very much depending on "foreign sources" when searching info for my own areas of collection. Its probably not a coincident that Im the first swede finding this forum... there are not much other swedes searching for foreign coin sites. So thanks again for your information and Im happy for everything enw I may learn.

The reason you do not find anniversery issues is that I have excluded them from my field of interest.

I do how ever have some more coins but I will try to get them up at some point. I would of course appriceate any contribution of pics I can get although at the moment I must also try to fix my web-sites "flaws" before adding more and more...

Thanks for noticing Jmd... I´ll have a look at that.

[Berg]

Geoff - that explains a bit

I found links in the "Medeltid" and "Antiken" departement. Is that the same as you found!?

[Master Jmd]

Hmm...maybe...have you removed the links totally? Because I cannot find them any more!

Yes I did. I´ll insert them once again when I get the other pages up to shape. Better to have them removed then having them looking odd while working with other pages.

[Berg]

Been working some more now, most notably with the ww2 coinage, but this is basicly how far i come with the sources availible to me, so any more info/pics are welcome.

Im also feeling that the page is growing into something to big so perhaps I´ll try to cut it into smaller web-pages, well I dont know, Im rather new to web-page building.

[Berg]

kuhli - as I know there is a gap among 2-kopeks production during WW2, does the same "productiongap" apply for all kopeks?

[kuhli]

kuhli - as I know there is a gap among 2-kopeks production during WW2, does the same "productiongap" apply for all kopeks?

1 kopek = 1937-41, 1945-46

2 kopek = 1937-41, 1945-46, 1948 (1948 is rare)

3 kopek = 1937-41, 1943, 1945-46, 1948 (1948 is rare)

5 kopek = 1937-41, 1943, 1945-46

10 kopek = 1937-46

15 kopek = 1937-46

20 kopek = 1937-46

I also notice that you list the 1991 transitional issues for the 10 & 50 kopek, and for the 1 & 5 roubles. There is also a bi-metallic 10 rouble issue for that series.

[Berg]

Thank you kuhli!

There is no link to The Collectors Society on the forums page

Also, could you change the link to my site to www.mjmdcoins.tk instead of www.mjmdcoins.a11.net? Thanks
