As a 'companion' to Rob's survey of our literature keeping habits, it occured to me I am a sad git that spends all day on the internet use the internet for most of my research. And I wondered how others compare!

I have a LOT bookmarked and I didn't count them fully but there might be over 100 :) I am going to go back and organise them all at some point, maybe even re-read them too. At the moment I haven't found the time to go through many of them so I selected 1-20% as I have occasionally used them for reference. I keep bookmarks to pages on the almost entire gamut of numismatic topics.

Here are some select examples of what I've got :)

Roman women on coins (always hard to ID!)

A really interesting website on pit and colliery checks..

Cnut short cross Pennies (I have a couple)

Very little in between those

I guess that proves it then : you're either a total obsessive, or you're not! :D

Cnut short cross Pennies (I have a couple)

http://www.englishha...nut/cnut03.html

I've always thought he had an unfortunate name...

Probably why, when I was at school, he was called Canute

How to read Nuremberg Jetons

http://www.ukdfd.co....erg-jetons.html

Thanks for posting this site. It has identified a coin (Jeton) that I have had for many years and have never been able to identify....... Nuremberg Jeton of Hans Krauwinckel II

I believe I found this jeton in tha early 70,s as a young kid while living in Paderborn, Germany.

Thanks again.

It'd be handy if someone here with some spare time could compile a categorised list of bookmarks.

I would but I only have 10 pages about coins bookmarked.

I have a bookmarks folder which expands into a column high enough to fill the screen but no more. I therefore tend to add a useful one at the expense of a less used (or useless) one. You remember those that are of use in any case without needing to bookmark.

I'm just starting to build a categorised list of bookmarks on my Firefox now (organized into bookmark folders on certain topics)

Anyone feel like contributing?
