GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria Not a numismatist, but always enjoyed these series of articles. Review to follow. Andrew Gray (talk) 20:01, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
 * There's a few niggling details but I'll deal with these separately; certainly not enough to fail it. All very readable even if I balk at a couple of the commas :-)
 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * Solid lead; sensible layout; no problematic terms; no fiction; no lists. One block-quote is unfortunately lost because of the images on both sides (Carothers, in "Inception") but otherwise visually good. The images feel a little concentrated in the early sections, but I'm not sure there's much that can be done about that given the subject matter.
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. Has an appropriate reference section:
 * References all look suitably reliable. (FYI, the two Google Books links are unavailable to non-US users; unfortunately, they're not on archive.org either)
 * B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
 * No unsourced claims
 * C. No original research:
 * No signs of original synthesis, and the points where sources disagree are signposted.
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * All major aspects seem covered. "Design" feels short, simply because it's surrounded by long sections, but it says all it needs to say.
 * B. Focused:
 * There's a lot of historical context, but necessary for the article.
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * I'm not seeing any spin here.
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
 * B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
 * Happy to pass this with no qualms. Andrew Gray (talk) 21:30, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
