Apart from the first page, that first one has come out fine. (But the site I had to get it from ... GAAAAAH! Don't the stupid people who create those 'captchas' understand that a robot can't read ANYTHING in a picture? On the other hand, if they put a wavy line through the characters, then humans can't read it either!! What a bunch of total pillocks!) Quote

I found it rather interesting. http://www.archive.org/download/StrandMagazine40/Strand40.pdfGreat find Gollum! I'd found it so interesting that I had to buy an original copy My main focus is George III but one need sometime to look outside the borders in order to get a better understanding of ones area of collecting.Strangely it mentions the George IV coins as a popular coining target. I don't find them that common although I have some in my collection (mostly halfcrowns).Wonder what happend to Scotland Yard's collection? Our danish police museum were closed years ago and as far I know they gave the counterfeit coins to the royal coin collection at the national museum in Copenhagen. Quote

E-mail me a copy and I will host it for those interestedActually colin the original from the american archive is about 243M and the cut down version that i put up is only about 2M. I dont understand why no one can get either I still can. the first link is merely a right click and save lin or file as, and the ones put up are just click and then choose free download. I dont have the B/W to upload the original 243M one. Quote
