What about a new book for early milled?

[Master Jmd 77]

On the rotographic website under 'the titles' it says 'more titles coming soon...' ...well, what about doing an early milled book along with the normal Collecters Coins book?

[Chris Perkins 228]

Iv'e spoken to Sylvester about just the same! I need to really concentrate on getting the current titles into PDF form before I do new titles.

I have actually been talking to none other than my own father about doing a Collectors price guide to British military medals, Boer war (1899) to now. He's into those you see.

When i get my Spink 2005 then i might go and get some Early Milled prices for you should you wish me to (mind you i've still got to finish up these sixpences... i hope i get round to doing the Britannia Groats too).

For an Early milled book i take it, it would be a non-gold one going upto the end of George II's reign, seeing as you don't want to loose the George III book.

Yes, I would imagine something like Cromwell to GII.

Dont say im being mad, but i would like to try to tackle charles II if this book comes together

[Chris Perkins 228]

Well that's very ambitious of you Jmd, for someone who has yet to receive his first CII coin! But, you know I like to get everyone involved, so if you're ready and willing you can help on it (if and when it happens).

[Sylvester 15]

The whole of Charles II?

Hey if we're gonna do it in monarchs then i want James II and William and Mary! (But NOT William III!)

So it's gonna be 1656-1760.

I'll do the sixpences too 1658-1758 plus William and Mary and James II coins.

But first i've got to finish of the 1816-1837 run of sixpences and the Liz II, I've got Geo III done and i've got Geo IV and Will IV set up awaiting the prices to be entered. I haven't even started the groats.

I have a Charles II farthing chris (here)

...and yes, i know it would be an 'enormous' task, but yes, i would be glad to learn more about his coinage and at the same time help rotographic

Example Cover 1

I really like that JMD. Maybe you could have "2005" a little more to the left, with "edition" after it? Also, underneath the caption at the top, maybe you could put on www.rotographic.co.uk??

[Master Jmd 77]

hmm...ok...

Example Cover Design 2

I don't think it needs "edition" - it's pretty obvious that it's the 2005 edition if it says 2005 on the cover.

The bit at the top looks much better

[Chris Perkins 228]

That looks good Jmd, I especially like the idea of it matching with the Collectors Coins 1797-2004. In the end all 3 can match and will cover 1656 - 2004.

All 3?

[Chris Perkins 228]

Yes:

Collectors Early Milled

Collectors George III

Collectors Coins Great Britain

[Master Jmd 77]

Ok, ive had another jiggle with it and came out with this, but i wasn't sure if to brighten or darken the coin in the background...anyway its brightened a bit...

Is there much point in doing Collectors George III coins aswell as covering george III in Collectors Coins Great Britain?

[Sylvester 15]

Looking good, here JMD you don't fancy trying to do the cover for the late milled one, i mean i got a 'sort of copy' on mine but can i email it to Chris? can i heck as like!... it's just too big and i'm afraid paint is just not upto the job of getting it smaller size wise. So i'm a bit stuck, i've tried zip i've tried everything, i was going to send it in two parts but getting it into 2 is near impossible due to the size...

There is a better picture of the florin now on coinpeople (with a digital camera) by it's new owner Stujoe... I can direct anyone that wishes to go over there and have a bash.

Someone on here must have a decent software package to pull of a good front cover?

[Master Jmd 77]

to be honest i do not have 'decent software' i designed this one with powerpoint and microsoft paint believe it or not!

George III Book Frontcover Idea

[Emperor Oli 0]

I'm not too keen on the first letters being lighter than the others but it's a promising draft!
