I hope to add a few more 600 dpi scanned images from of this token from
other catalogs for comparison.
If anyone can provide me a 600 dpi scan of this token
from the Indian 1994 reprint of Codrington please E-mail it to me.
I have my Grandfather's copy of the 1924 Edition of Codrington's Coins and Currency. Although most of the text pages are brittle the 7 plates printed on better paper are in excellent condition. In 2004 March, Ed Krivoniak an expert Numismatist in Pittsburgh scanned the seven plates for me at 1200 dpi on a high resolution 2400 dpi scanner and made me a set of prints which are almost better than the original.
The illustration above show that web-publishing is now lot cheaper and lot better than most printed books.
