    I mean a pure white background around the coin. Email me just the coin picture and I'll see if I can do that and send it back. Try making the whole thing 2x the size it is, or even 3x. If it's too big it can be reduced better than it can be enlarged.
  2. Chris Perkins
    Yes I did, but I need you to draw a circle round the florin so that you can cut it out and leave a pure white background. Can you do that? Can you also make it A5 sized? I don't think the bmp is big enough.
  3. Chris Perkins
    So can you email me large bmp versions? Perhaps I can test how big they need to be for A5.
  4. Chris Perkins
    That's pretty good, perhaps it should be renamed 'Collectors' BNP Coins 2005'!! Are you also saving these as bmp peeps, because jpg's with compression loose so much detail. (I know the forum will not accept bmps as pictures).
  5. Chris Perkins
    Looking good so far, I'm just concrned if it will be A5 size and at least 300dpi.
  6. Chris Perkins
    Well you have to don't you, no one cares as much about your business ventures as yourself, and if you don't try your hardest to promote them, no one else will.
  7. Chris Perkins
    Yes, I had spotted the link, and It'll be good to say on the inside...'Cover pictures: Florin sold by prececimal.com, £2 sold by Predecimal.com on the date....blah, blah.

    Don't wory too much about the bandwidth, as this is an 'exclusive' area, not many people get to see it, and it is for the good of the project. Is it Collectors' Coins, or is it Collector's Coins.....I don't know, my English was always crap, didn't Geoff say it should be Collectors' Coins??

    I've been asked by the advertising manager of Stamp and Coin Mart to send his editior (and him) a press release all about the CCGB2005. I think it basically has to sing its praises, give my contact details, inform them of release date etc etc. They want to help market the book (I suppose it makes sense, as competitors of Coin News, and with no annual price guide of their own) I've never done a press release before, anyone got any previous experience?

    I thought we did it for the same reason as the French, but not because of them. Bronze is cheaper than copper and the coins were reduced in size to save money too.
  11. Chris Perkins
    I think you'll have to be a little more accurate with your sizes Bob, as farthing and halfpenny sizes changed sizes a few times from 1799 - 1967. Millimetres would help.
  12. Chris Perkins
    Probably some kind of advertising marks, or what's left of them. At that time many merchants stamped coins with adverts so as the coin circulated they would get free advertising. Or it could just be graffitii, that's common on coins of that age too.

    Dear Storm, I have one of those too! As it was a mistake, it's not clear how many there are, and the values of them are patchy too. I have no idea what mine is worth. I'd be pleased to take a chance and buy yours for the same price I bought my other set, which worked out around £250 (I bought it was a lot of other normal sets).

    Roman Coin

    Chris Perkins replied to a topic in Ancient Coins

    Well it isn't, I've got 2 of them. They were commemorative coins and the date is about right. I've seen fake ones so watch out. For a real one, Reverend Plant says £10 in Very Fine condition. (Reverend Plant is a leading ancient coin author: http://www.rotographic.co.uk/currentcontrib.htm)
  15. Chris Perkins
    I've merged your topics bob, as the threepence one looked alone.
  16. Chris Perkins
    Blimey, you want the moon on a stick you do! The GB proof sets are all worth around £4-7 each if they contain untoned coins and are as issued. I'm afraid I don't have time to look up the 'foreigners', perhaps someone else will.
  17. Chris Perkins
    It's a farthing, not worth a lot if it's worn/in a state. I have one around about Fair in the next newsletter for £1 I believe. If I can ever find the time to send it out!
  18. Chris Perkins
    I'm sure I've had pre Soviet, Latvian 1930's Lati before.
  19. Chris Perkins
    I'd thought of that too, but Rotographic is also pretty well known (I think, although I modestly admit, probably not so much as predecimal.com among web surfing circles). So I don't want to get rid of either name. In fact I quite like the name 'Rotographic' too. I also like Rotodecimal!! Ah, the many problems with empire building.
  20. Chris Perkins
    Nor did you know the correct place in the forum to put this question. I'll just move you the the 'Enquiries about British coins' part.
  21. Chris Perkins
    Wow, I like that very much! Can you produce one that's A5 size and at 300dpi resolution? I think that's wonderful. Big clap for William.
  22. Chris Perkins
    I think that the people visiting this forum may well be interested in the Rotographic website, so the banner will stay in it's current form at the moment. I may decide to change the look of the forum and make a rotographic link in the blue bit at the top.

    I have a similar Irish 6 Shilling forgery on this page: http://www.predecimal.com/forged/georgeiii.htm And I have heard about BoE Dollar forgeries. Value depends on how much someone would be willing to pay for it, as there are no price guides on the subject (now, there's an idea!!). I would expect anywhere from £10 - 50 depending on exact state. Perhaps less if it's awful.

    The forum is hosted in my own space on my own database. I have to pay an annual fee for the hosting, and a little extra because of the extra bandwidth use, that I hadn't planned on, due to the popularity of the forum!
  25. Chris Perkins
    I'll get a price list, and list them here. I thought about putting them on the website, but thought the fact they are all in German would render them hard to justify the time.
