No, you won't have to buy another. I can email it to whatever account you want, as many times as you need!

I'm not sure what to try. Aldiko the latest version? I'll try on mine.

Oh. Does it give a hint as to why not?

Yes. Anyone else on IE for whom it is working properly, especially the quoting feature?

The ePub should also look fine on a laptop. Android, hmmm, it should be easy to copy it into whatever ebook directory you have for use with whatever reader you have (I've got an Android with Aldiko). As mentioned above, small screen devices don't display fixed layout epub files that brilliantly.

It could be flash/active x problem. I have the same quoting issue on IE11! The other things you mention seem to be ok., TG.

Is it an iPhone? Garrett has experience getting it onto the iPhone.

I can see you liked it (on full version). And if someone likes one of your posts, a notification appears by your name right at the top. And, on every page you can see a facebook 'f'/'Like' blue box below.....if you click that one, it'll register on your fb profile that you liked an 'article' and will provide a link to it and give you the opportunity to say something about it.

Bugger. I'll make sure I go through this thread when preparing the new edition! In fact, it's a good place to mention these little probs that have crept in. Due to the fixed layout format of the tables and some images it does mean that the ebook version doesn't really display optimally on smaller screens. Hopefully, although the formatting may be a bit skew whiff, it should all be understandable.

Aha, hang on... the like thing on the posts has nothing to do with fb! It simply shows that you like it. Try it now, limit removed.

Right, it should work now (I think)! Users that also have facebook accounts can now 'like' comments here. I don't know how it works for people that don't have fb. Try it Rob, it may just state that you 'like' it. There are no doubt other features that I don't know about yet. I tried it by liking this and Rob's comment, above.

It's not the hosting or anything on this side, it's a facebook thing. I'll look into it this week.

Hmmm, the like feature has to be linked to a special kind of facebook account, that I haven't got! I was thinking about a better fb strategy for predecimal.com. What was that account you set up Dave? Perhaps we could merge and get the 'likes' etc to work.

I had heard that there was also a namesake at Manchester Uni. Not me.

Ok, but that means you'll have to let me know what you want beforehand as the system can't record a credit.

You buy it through Amazon? The sold number just crept up by 1, so I imagine that was you! Sometimes the printed version is also on Amazon, but as it's a bit scarce, people tend to ask silly money for it. I'll refund you the money for the failed buy. And I must also remember to remove it from sale.

Rich, it looks like you ordered your Standard Guide to Grading British Coins over predecimal.com, is that correct? I tried to track one down, but wasn't successful! I'm going to have to refund you I'm afraid. The eBook version is available, if that helps at all? (as epub or mobi via Amazon)

All excellent information to help me iron out the buggers for next time!

Bugger.

I had a unique lead pattern 1982 20p which was sent to the designer with RM letter dated Nov 1981. Based on that and the price it sold for, I don't think there is a chance of unique decimals raising much more than £1000 - £2000. The main reason is because the demand isn't there and nor are the collectors with the money, compared to the older material. The coins don't have any kind of almost mythical status like 1933 pennies and American rarities etc either, and possibly never will. Maybe in a couple of generations that will be different, and there are always people that seem to be able to afford and gladly pay well over the odds! With the gold 50 pees though, err, they are unique, but there are 29 of the bloody things! 29 unique 50 pees, each with a design as quickly bodged together as the next. The RM do produce very limited numbers of platinum crowns with mintage of sometimes just 150 pieces. They seem to 'sell' (assuming anyone actually buys them) for about £6400 each! Who on earth buys them? Seriously, where are the people that buy them? Anyone here ever bought one? Anyone know anyone that knows someone that has bought one? Perhaps they go to museums or into collections of super-rich people. Which is odd, because normally super-rich people are quite clever and would probably invest in platinum by buying it much closer to the bullion value. It would interest me how many of the 150 they actually sell, as the mintages the RM quote are usually maximum mintages. The expensive ones like that are made on demand. From experience, I find that the people that collect modern coins don't actually have any idea about coins and they don't usually have much money either. They have a subscription with the RM, they get them in the post and put them in drawer after looking at them once. Then they die and the coins get inherited by someone who contacts me, and I tell them that they are just worth the bullion value (which is often more than the pre 2000s coins cost because, luckily gold/silver has gone up quite a bit in that time), despite the fact that the original clueless purchaser paid 3x the then bullion value for them!

Looks a bit spammy to me. Are you real national-coin-depository?

Bugger!

Speak for yourself Dave. I'm a sophisticated coin re-ownership agent. Should be ok now. Is it?

Well that's just utter *&££&!%( isn't it! Have replaced the main infected file and my super hosting chap is looking into it.

There were other infected files on the server! The whole website has now been restored to the last good backup. The database was unchanged so that should mean that the posts/orders etc should have all remained intact. It should look fine now on every browser. As far as I can see, the hack was just malware - adverts, search engine promotion etc. Nothing harmful.
