Need some pictures of Sovereigns

[Hussulo 6]

Please. For a website I am working on.

The pictures must belong to you and you must own the rights to allow me to use them.

I am looking for good quality images of Sovereigns, half Sovereigns which I can crop and apply to a different background (to match my site), so size isn't too important.

I would be happy to mention you name, ie "Courtesy of John Smith" etc below it and the url of your website if it is coin related.

I am also interested in swapping links with other quality coin related websites.

Could you please send emails containing images or contact me on sulo(at)coinsgb.com if interested.

Thank you.

I have some pictures of pretty standard Victoria-Elizabeth II sovereigns/halves, ex-my website. You're welcome to them if you think they'll do the job.

[Hussulo 6]

Thanks guys very much appreciated.

Azda- wow 500 websites nicking pictures from Tax Free Gold website. I'm VERY surprised to see CGS-UK.biz on that list

I personally want to do everything above board.

I have had quite a few emails from new collectors and gold investors asking me about Sovereigns, so I thought I would set up a simple site along those lines, I may add more info, varieties etc in the future and it is by no means finished.

Its also the first time I have used Wordpress so I am still playing around with it. I'll publish the site details once I've done more work on it.

Many thanks once again.

[Hussulo 6]

Thanks Clive,

Mailbox checked and images received.

[Hussulo 6]

Thanks to everyone that has allowed me to use a picture on my site and Chris I have used a picture of the 120 Sov you allowed me to use on CoinsGB, if you don't want me to use it on this site please let me know and I'll remove it.

I still have a bit to do but if anyone fancies taking a look and critiquing the site for me I would be grateful. I am looking for opinions good and bad, spelling mistakes etc and any suggestions eg, new content.

Thanks

Thanks. The Cookie Pop up thing is just something I'm trialing to conform with the new EU laws!!!

I think if you accept it then it wont keep showing on each page.

A cookie pop-up on every page? I suddenly find I have something else to do than go THERE!

[ski 1]

no........you have to accept the cookie pop up for every page..........darned annoying

[Hussulo 6]

no........you have to accept the cookie pop up for every page..........darned annoying

Are you sure? When you first visit the site you should get a message in the bottom right hand corner saying this site uses cookies etc..

If you click on "I am happy to accept this" the little symbol in the corner of your screen should change from orange to green and it wont keep asking you on every page.

Please try it and tell me if it works.

I am still playing around with it and may remove this all together, however if the EU has its way this kind of request will become the norm on most sites that want to fall within the law as almost every sites use cookies. Including this one. See the Google ads on the right hand side of the front page, Google places cookies on every visitor so that it can best target ads to suit each individual. Cookies aren't a bad thing per say, they aren't trying to steal your details or bank account number etc. They are mainly used to allow site owners to see what percentage of visitors are from the UK, US, Germany etc or analytical stuff or used to target ads.

You could have a site ie a coin dealers site that might get away with not using cookies but most sites that are free to use include the likes of Google ads etc which although dont generate huge incomes do generate some and help to off set the cost of hosting and maintaining a website. If you didn't have cookies or ads, the likely hood is the site might cost the users money, not exist or cost the site producer money to run.

seems to be good, not getting the pop up now when navigating around the pages

[Coinery 1,153]

I'd personally get your trials done re the cookies pop-up's, and then get rid, at least until the law states that EVERYONE has to comply and it becomes commonplace.

I'd say I felt pretty comfortable on a PC but, in all honesty, when i was being asked whether i actually WANT to accept something that we know happens all the time, I thought 'fork that' and got off the site! Looked good for the two pages I sneaked a peak at around your pop-up's, though!

[Hussulo 6]

Okay thanks for the suggestions so far. I have removed the "allow cookies pop up" for now, we'll just see how the use of this law pans out. So instead I have added a "Website Privacy & Cookies" link to the bottom of each page.

Any other suggestions? For example any other post or pages I should add about sovereigns?

Hi Husslo Yes well done, your site looks clean and easy to read and navigate. I'm finding the gold price charts and calculations a tiny bit complicated - couldn't you just put what the current melt value for a soverign is? And perhaps a simple chart tracking the price of gold over the year?

There is one question I would like to ask – Do gold coins tone? Perhaps you could have a frequently asked questions bit!

Thanks Debbie. I don't know how to do a current gold value for a sovereign as the graphs are imported. I can only show a graph for an ounce or per gram. I thought per gram would be easier as you only have to times the price by 8 to get the current gold value for a sovereign or by 4 for a half sovereign.

To answer your question, gold or pure gold does not tone, it is an inert metal. However most gold coins are struck in 22ct gold so do contain some copper. If mixed well the copper is very minute so the coin still wont tone, but I have seen a couple of gold coins that have toned and my guess is the metal hasn't mixed well so the copper is toning on parts of the coin. Pure gold coins like Chinese Panda coins and Canadian Maple leafs, should not tone.

That's a good idea Debbie. I may add a FAQ page and have some questions and answers posted.

Cheers,

Hus

Thanks to all that allowed me use of pictures. I have been adding more content, including this page about how coins are minted (made):
