British coins are a fascinating field, each coin is a historical document, each type has a design depicting an element of British society or culture. The Royal family tree can be traced back on them, not only in words, but in pictures too. The fact these coins were spent by past generations and treated just like we treat modern coins, gives an insight into what people handled in days gone. Coins can teach many aspects about the past, they can also cultivate the imagination and who knows where that might lead.
See what coins dated 1760 – 1970 sell for in up to 5 different states of preservation. With this book as your guide and the knowledge you will gain, you can value your existing collection, or purchase new coins without potentially paying too much for them.
This colour* book lists all known major varieties for every coin type, as well as mintage numbers where recorded for each date. It really is the best value A5 (21 x 14.8cm) paperback book a coin collector could own. And also has a firm following with boot-salers, antique dealers, auctioneers, metal detectorists, historians, and anyone who is likely to encounter or be fascinated by the British pre-decimal coinage.
