Found this and thought it may be of interest to anyone who hasn't seen it :)

Is this your new site auto :winkextra:
:huh: yeah sure thing AJ :biggrin: where do I start please ;) I reckon some work went into that:scratch_one-s_head:
I know one of the names from FB, haven't had anything to do with him but know the name Pavel.
Looks like it's like this one and a work in progress but then with coins that's a never ending job as there's always something new.
What he is trying to do I think is what is already on Numista. It is a massive task.

And probably a pointless one.
Resources are great and all, but how they're delivered matters. Why do you think I do mine as PDF's? ;)

I have to admit, I'm not 100% sure but I will try: so that it is permanent and portable?
:angel:
I still prefer Macca's, because it lists all the varieties as well. There's not much point in having a coin catalogue that ignores all the big stuff (like the wavy, incuse and $1/10c mule) while perpetuating all the old myths (about 20c coins dated 1983-1985 being released into circulation).

That may be true for decimal listings, but that catalogue fails to list at least half of the big stuff when it comes to pre decimal. One only has to look at the PCGS penny set registry to appreciate that.

Yes indeed :wavemulticolor:

I think that collecting pre decimals has now become a Specialist area of collecting as it seems to be the case that the majority of Australian collectors are more concerned with their Decimal collections now and the pre decimal coins don't seem to be as popular with new collectors anymore.
For Greg to include all the new decimal issues PLUS all the new pre decimal varieties in the new editions Macca's it would No longer be a "Hand book" it would become a major publication and would become unaffordable to a large majority of collectors.

Yeah, that's the popular line of thought commonly heard, but to be totally honest, that excuse is about as exaggerated as some of the arguments put forward for why they should be included :blush: :angel:
The reality is that many of the penny varieties already exist in the catalogues listings, but there are about 15 that do not, and as it happens some of the most historically important coins find themselves in this group. I don't see what difference the inclusion 15 line entries as a one off would make, after all, they're not making any more are they? That's not including fakes from China of course :mocking:
Without trying to bash the editor too much, as I said, there are a few well known and historically very important coins missing, one of such is the 1931 dropped 1 Indian obverse which has been known about forever it seems, but isn't able to occupy one solitary line in the pocket book. Of course every shiny object from the perth Mint for example, manages to get a guernsey and inflate the entries yearly. :dead_horse: :diablo:
From reading Gregs post on another thread, it looks like I may have to eat my words with regard to previous criticism, I hope so anyhow. I love humble pie :yahoo:
As long as you put plenty of BBQ sauce on it auto .. :)
Mike
:scratch_one-s_head: now there's one to think about, should humble pie be served with sauce be it tomato or bbq or should it be served with cream or ice cream..food for thought :winkextra:

I'm feeling the "heat" so going with ice cream ;)
So humble pie is sweet :huh: I was thinking it might have been savoury, so it's sweet humble pie :mocking:
Humble (or umble it is sometimes called) pie is an actual pie, based on medieval recipes. Humble Pie recipe (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/humble-pie-recipe).
I would say double cream would be good with this one or, possibly, custard. I would be happy to eat it.
We are doing another blackberry trip tomorrow. Maybe I should withhold some from jam and try that recipe.
Not to be confused with this Humble Pie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_2ys0ByMT8&index=3&list=RDRyf08xePJBs).
:laugh2: now I remember why you can't be taken anywhere Jeff, sort of the same reasons why I can't :D
Are we "One for all and all for one" then?

That doesn't look half bad, reminds me of the odd pizza I've had ;)

I like it AJ, not the sour taste though :laugh2:
I'm very surprised Uni hasn't jumped on this one yet :whistle2: being a bit "tarty" himself :angel:
