Really nice job, congrats on the completion!

One teeny nit. On the first line of the text description above... grammatically something is different *from* something else, not different *than* something else.

Sorry about that! I tried to delete the duplicate but I wasn't allowed to change the page more than 24 hours after posting.

Good point. I'll put a post-it note on that page and change it next time I print it. I have already photoshopped the electronic version at http://www.larsdog.com/coins/pages/OFEC01a.htm

Thanks!

Lars

Way to go, Larsdog,

That clearly was an involved project that took a lot of time and thought. It looks good.

My criticism is that Great Britain isn't a country. It's an island. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the country.

Outstanding job!

That costs much more than I expected.

I'm glad you brought that up! My atlas does, in fact, refer to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but the Krause 2008 Standard Catalog of World Coins that I bought for this project lists all the coins under Great Britain. I was following their lead. How do other worldwide coin collectors typically designate their UK coins?

Great Britain v. UK

Even though my Krause catalog lists the coins under GB, after further research I must admit that UK is not just a BETTER label, but the only appropriate label.

No offense intended. My first iteration of this project actually had UK, but using the only recognized guide that I had available (Krause), I changed it to GB thinking that was more customary.

Therefore, I have changed these 3 pages:

Project-Completion!-Ofec-1980
Project-Completion!-Ofec-1980
Project-Completion!-Ofec-1980

Thanks again for all inputs and critiques! My result is no better than the information I have to create it. I'm lucky to have such a vast font of wisdom to draw from!

Amazing! I am a big fan of albums and especially creatively constructed albums. I learned some things too!

Thanks for sharing!
