Thank everyone Of course I’d rather have the hard cash, but my family aren’t very ‘cash’y at Christmas! They like to give things...which is lovely of course, hence me giving them a list of everything I want, in links, so that they don’t try and get creative ?. Nothing fancy, just the basic kit to get me started and preserve what I have got without further damage. I saw the little paper discs, but I’ve asked for the cardboard holders (oh dear can’t remember the name!) - flips?! white ones, which I can write on. And the albumt to hold them I’m entering them into a spreadsheet at the moment, and learning lots as I look each one up. Amazing the varieties involved... Sophie. -
Ahhh that worked! A screenshot clipped down to tiny size...hmm... Sophie

Thanks Peckris. I’ll keep trying...? very frustrating! Sophie.

Thanks copper123, but I’ve done my Christmas List for family and already filled it with coin storage, reference books and other paraphernalia! Will be exciting...hoping someone will but me some actual coins too lol! I’m finding more and more at home, turns out I’ve been collecting unusual coins since childhood...? Soph. -
Trying a different way Oooo does it show?! Fab. My initial interpretation of a spreadsheet...I’m sure it will change! lol. Soph. (It was showing, but now I’ve posted it’s gone. It says it’s not available for my account...what am I doing wrong? ?)

Thanks Rob. Unfortunately the issue for me is that I have to use an iPad, so I don’t have Paint, but I have got a resizing app so will have a tinker with that and see if I can get it to do anything... Soph.

Just seeing if this works it’s not a coin though, sorry! Can you tell me if you can see anything?! https://pin.it/ids2tvv6mpygjc Soph.

Thank you Rob and 1949threepence Sad about the gallery images, that must have been gutting. Seems insane that it has to be so difficult to upload images to a post. Thanks for the image advice, I’ll have to have a play and see if I can get something to work.., Soph.

I’m tagging onto the end of this thread as I read through it all hoping for guidance! Is there an easy way to upload images via the iPad as I do everything on one, and I think most of the image advice is for those with PCs. I tried to change my profile picture earlier and it just ignored me completely! I’m hoping to take some coin pictures one day too... I was quite sad to see so few coin photos in the forum gallery - I thought there’d be masses on there. I know there’s some in threads as I’ve seen quite a few, but it’s not quite the same as having them all there to see together. Is there a reason for this? I also can’t see how to do a member album on there, although I appreciate that’s probably my newbie hat rendering me a bit thick lol! Thanks in advance Soph.

Lmao...okay, Chris gets my order first ? Thanks guys, really nice to have a warm welcome. It’s scary when you first dip your numismatic (is that right?!) toe into expert waters... Soph.- 28 replies

Lol, not even that Peter! ? But it’s a great thought, and if I can do it one day I’ll enlist your assistance...! Reference books are always indulgent. So the Collectors Coins GB, and a Spinks too. Can you recommend a grading book title? It’s fab that there are so many really knowledgeable people in this forum Thanks again. Soph.- 28 replies

Thanks so much Rob, but no wheelchair for me, lol, I’m an odd bird! ? Bet it’s amazing to go to... I actually went into a coin shop a few years ago when I was still able to get out a bit, and it was fascinating, but I feel I really missed a lot of what was there...just from not knowing the subtleties and complexities of everything. I’m sure virtual reality will catch up and let me go to a fair soon lol - now there’s a challenge for them! Soph.
