Chris Perkins Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 That's a massive jump since last time, I know. This time however, I've concentrated on the text, so the images are just circles to calculate space. I have also yet to complete the image captions.As usual, prices are not correct yet.It's coming along, almost finished the text for section 1 (Circulation coins and mass produced 'easy' proofs)http://www.rotographic.co.uk/1-49.pdf Quote
Emperor Oli Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) When I opened it, it looked immediately sharper - don't know if that's just me or whether you've changed the res but it looks better! Anyway, to nitpicking:(starting from pg25)25 - Listed as Young Head then on 26 as Young head27 - Text box on right looks odd - "differentiate" needs to be aligned with the rest28 - "re-melted" implies that the 1944 ones had been melted previously - "melted down" would be better36 - "moto" should be "motto"38 - "Long tailed 'Q' in 'QUE'" I reckon you could just get away with putting "long tailed 'Q'"42 - Nice touch with the numerals and numbers44 - Don't know what's going on with the 1907 mintage47 - "Bust|" doesn't need to be capitalised. 1817 "moto" should be "motto"Excellent anyway - not as many mistakes etc plus it looks super! Well done! Edited August 9, 2004 by Emperor Oli Quote
Sylvester Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Well that just about finished my computer off, not very dial-up friendly! I'll probably have to wait about 1/2 an hour for that to load, i'll just nip into uni in a day or two and have a look on their cable connection computers. Quote

Well done! Right, corrected those. I better get on with adding some pictures.By the way, pleased you liked the Roman numerals in the Gothic florin section becaue I paid £22 for the font, just to use on 2 pages! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Roman numerals are fairly easy to translate into normal numbers, but I like having both the date in normal and roman numerals - I haven't seen it in any other reference work. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 13, 2004 Author Posted August 13, 2004 Well actually it wasn't my idea. If you look, Marles already has bi-dates in the 2004 CCGB, and has done since the early 70's I think. It's especially helpful for those people that get confused by Roman numerals, and I know there are lots of those! Quote
Sylvester Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Coincraft has them in both too. I thought it was pretty much the norm to have both numbers present? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 I've just got Spink, which doesn't. I've flicked through Coincraft but not at the gothic bits. Quote
