Why do the pages showing Van Arsdell numbers for each tribe have so many images missing?
On the pages for each tribe, showing the various Van Arsdell numbers available in the Celtic Coin Index, we have an “exemplar image” for quick visual reference to each VA number. Since we currently have only images for the coins catalogued in the earlier years, we often do not have images for the VA numbers in question. Even where we have one or more images, many of these are of specimens too worn to be of use. Previously, we were awaiting the rest of the images, so we might choose the clearest and most typical exemplar image. Now that we have received the rest of the images, we are in the process of selecting the remainder of the Van Arsdell “exemplar images”. This process will take more time than simply uploading images, as it requires careful thought and judgment.
