Master Jmd Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 its acctually pages 1-65 (not 66) Quote
Master Jmd Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) i think that you have missed a page...you say that proofs start on page 65 but it is page 64 on the pdf......also, spink is selling 1860 and 1861 'non-intended' proof farthing for £350 (each) ...also, colin cooke lists 3 specimins of 1860 copper proof, so its not unique ...also, on page 40 you have the 23mm (at top of page) going into the box with 1st rev and 2nd rev type shillings Edited September 10, 2004 by Master Jmd Quote
Emperor Oli Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 (edited) Page 2: "Thank-you" doesn't need to be hyphenated, but "all new" does. Abrupt spelled wrong. "Nations" should have an apostrophe before the s.Page 3: Ascending spelled wrong (twice). In the reference numbers part, referred is spelled wrong (also twice).Page 5: Marketing section - Precise spelled wrong. Also, do away with the his/her he/she and just keep his/he. Cleaning - Abrasive only has one b.Page 46: Dei Gratia is "By the Grace of God".Page 47: Difference is spelled with only one "f". Also, "Extremely" in "Extremely rare" doesn't need to be capitalised.Page 55: You explain what Ind Imp means in parentheses, but earlier when BRITT.OMN is stated as being discontinued, you don't explain what it is.Page 64: "Carthweelesque" should be "Cartwheelesque".That's it!Edit: Acrobat downloaded especially for you!

custard1966 Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Looking very good.I have a few comments.The index page numbers need updatingThere is a 1831 penny with WW with no dotsA far as I know only the F14 penny has the sig beneath the foot all others have it beneath the shieldMissing the N of ONE over a sideways N for 1860Missing 1863 with the open 3 (there's a slender 3 too if we want to be complete)As well as mentioning Freeman in relation to a detailed description of the bronze pennies it would also be helpful to mention the Satin reference which describes the early bun pennies in extreme detail.Missing 1888 with broken serifsMissing 1946/1897 with die flaws (O'NE, ONE')The best way to identify the 1897 high tide is to see whether the stem of the P in penny points to a gap rather than a toothI could find quite a few more varieties if you're looking for even more completeness Hope this is useful.

Chris Perkins Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 Yes, it is. Thanks. I'll see if I can shoehorn those additions in. I mean if you want to do something you may as well do it properly. Quote

Custard, I've made some of the additions you mention, but due to space I'm going to have to leave some out for the 2006 edition. Perhaps the 2006 edition can be even more accurate with varieties.

Chris Perkins Posted September 12, 2004 Author Posted September 12, 2004 Yes, I know. I see no reason why my book shouldn't contain a listing of every known rariety for every denomination, but right now I shall concentrate on getting it finished, proofread, printed with a stunning cover and then out into the shops!

Do you still want my cover? It'll be in the post tomorrow if you do? Quote
Sylvester Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Anyone else have trouble opening these Acrobat files Chris puts up? Half an Hour to download!Oh the joys of dialup. I'll look at it when i'm at uni, it can be loaded with a few minutes there. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted September 12, 2004 Author Posted September 12, 2004 Sylvester, Yes please do send what you have, It'll be good to show the 'artist'. Quote
Sylvester Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Sylvester, Yes please do send what you have, It'll be good to show the 'artist'. Hmm getting the orange and blue on was not as easy as it may seem. What i will do when i copy it to a disc is i'll put the orangified florin pic on there too, as well as my version of the cover. You're welcome to have a play around then with the colours and the positioning of the writing, just to really make it look the business. It should only be minor things though really!I've changed to a lighter blue for the union Jack, but it's easy to chage it back cos the dark blue that was used previously is a default colour on paint. So it could be changed within a matter of seconds. Quote

Should you say about the strange tail under the G of REG in some of the 1870's victorian farthings? Quote
