Michel Taillard and several other French numismatists have been in the process of significantly revising some of the Gadoury French coin guides, which will be published soon. A few days ago, Monsieur Taillard asked me what are the English equivalents to several French numismatic terms.

Despite my limited knowledge of French, I offered to help him and made the remark that such a list might make a good article. He then put forward the enthusiastic suggestion of publishing the list in a couple of their books if I can finish it before the year is out. I responded a little uncertainly if I could accomplish such a task in time, with information worthy of publication.

Are there any readers of The E-Sylum that might be able to offer some guidance on this project and/or proofread my work once I reach that stage? My email address is via marktfox@gmail.com. Thanks.
