Again, quite a lot of spam has accumulated in the public galleries. I'll link to it so someone with the power can delete them:

Unlisted and Unpublished Coins:

These might need to be discussed but I think a countermarked coin without any info or identification is of little use:

Historical coins (mostly coins with no discernible reason to be in the gallery and no description).:

Actually I do try and monitor the galleries regularly. My excuse is that all these additions were within the last month.
Several of these uploads were not really spam, they were honest errors made by new members unfamiliar with the FORVM gallery set up.
I have not deleted them all, some I have moved to their owners' own galleries and some I've updated with the additional information which others had added to their comments boxes.
Thanks for giving us the "heads up".  ;D

Alex.

Of course, most of them not real spam. I was wondering after I started why there wasn't more. Thanks.
