Acknowledgements

I am most grateful for the generous donation of pictures for use on this site given to me by so many kind people. If you have a good quality scan of a coin that is not on this site (or a better picture of one that is), and you would like to see it published here, do please let me know using my my Advice page.

I only ask that you enquire first before sending me the image, as my main computer does not use a standard Microsoft Windows operating system. Naturally, due acknowledgement of any pictures I use will be given if required.

This series of pages is under continuous development. The site is mainly used as a picture store for my main website http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk. I have recently completed the modified pages, and would be grateful for notification of any remaining errors.

A new Monarch Index has been added, and it is intended that additional monarchs will be added to the list as and when images become available.

I am most grateful to The Ten O'Clock Show Limited for their sponsorship of my websites, and to S-I-G-M-A for their donation of server space.

Help and Advice

I would be grateful if you could search the site carefully before mailing me - the answers to the great majority of the questions that I am asked can be found on this site, and I am unlikely to reply quickly to such questions. In particular, I do NOT provide a valuation service.

If you have done this and still wish to ask for advice, feel free to mail me via my Advice page but please do not send me unsolicited scans or other binary files.
