So I have done a basic tutorial definition of coins that I know, included are proof, uncalculated and circulated.

Are there any other types of coins I should think about?

Any suggestions welcome.

Also are there any other sites that have pics and writing to explain coins.
I am having a go at making one for Australian 50 cent coins.

A few suggestions:

1. Change the font color. It's too light against a white background
2. I'd make the entire page a tad bigger. There is a lot of wasted space and a simple increase of 10-20% would fill it out better
3. Don't copy other peoples coins. It's infringement and not very professional. I'd take your own pictures
4. I'd have the option to click on a picture for a larger example.

Hi thanks for the reply, unfortunately I am using a template page so I don't think I can change the size.
But I fixed the font colour.
When I get my own coins I will update to my own pictures :)
Many thanks for the help.

Also a thought crossed my mind, what do you class a coin that comes from a mint roll.

Mint...
Specimen...
Uncirculated...

I agree with GO's #3, best to use your own pictures.

5. you have obverse + reverse of proof and uncirculated coins, but on circulated you only have obverse, and "Photo by me", who are you?

from a mint roll, believe it should be MS (mint state)

The 1987 coin from a mint set you have imaged is a specimen strike, different to uncirculated.

Did you ask the ebay sellers if you could use their images?

Maybe you also need to say that your information is copy and paste from CCF glossary.

Oh and would the next one from uncirculated be something like choice uncirculated?

I am only looking for a basic guide to explain coins that you might see on ebay without using MS grading, I don't need to go into fine and vf grades as that is very confusing and I have no idea of telling them apart.

Also what would you class a coin from an armaguard bag?
