Updating the series gallery on pages. This new format uses the 'gallery' tags as opposed to templates. This allows image galleries to be viewed properly on mobile devices. This and other minor tweaks will optimize WikiCoins for desktop and mobile.

With the latest software upgrade comes a current events link in the Navigation box. I will be using this page from now on to share site-wide notes. This page, my user page, will be used for personal modifications.

It's been a while since I've posted because I've been upgrading all the sites to the latest software and completing a personal archiving on my computer. I'm almost done with this work which will allow me to begin the process of refining the templates for mobile content. I'm very excited about accessing this wiki using the new mobile format. Cool.

Adding reference numbers to the coin type sample. These can be used to indicate whether an article covers a PCGS number, KM number, or other reference. I'm posting a sample to 1878 Morgan Dollar (8 Tail Feathers).

Completed the series galleries for the Morgan Dollar and Buffalo Nickel.

Plus, WikiSafe is integrating Bitcoin into the escrow model. This drops the payment fee to zero for transactions conducted in Bitcoin.

Finally, increase and decrease graphic templates have been created for easy insertion in the price guides. See an example of its use on the Morgan Dollar page. Show users whether prices are going up or down.

Got a little sidetracked creating series galleries for United States coin types and decided to create a page for Mexican Imperial Coinage. It proved worthwhile and feel the page is a good start. I look forward to any input from the community.

A series gallery has been added to the following articles:


 * Buffalo Nickel
 * Sacagawea Dollar
 * Morgan Dollar
 * Mercury Dime

I think this layout will work well for the VAM varieties of the Morgan Dollar as well. Looking for missing images to these pages. If you have images to contribute, please upload.

Created some "starter pages" for Bitcoin. These initial pages are using existing templates that include standard grading terms and it remains to be seen whether they're relevant to the digital currency. Time will tell. If a different template is suggested, please contact me.

A revised Coin Type Template has been created to include a price guide. Check out the Coin Type Sample to see how it works. This template can be copied to articles easily.

I've also added a "series gallery" to the Indian Head Half Eagle article as a test. My first thought is it works well. One could get a list of the series pages by clicking on the category but the visual is nice. If anyone has images to complete the series it would be much appreciated.
