Copy of Peck for sale!

Recommended Posts

All,

I have recently managed to obtain a second copy of Peck - English, Copper, Tin and Bronze Coins in the British Museum 1558 - 1958 which has been heavily annotated inside, this now allows me to mark this copy up without feeling guilty about damaging a collectable book.

This has resulted in me being able to sell my own copy which is in excellent condition, details below:

ENGLISH COPPER TIN AND BRONZE COINS - C.WILSON PECK IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM 1558-1958.

A must for any serious bronze or copper collector, an awesome reference catalogue 640+ pages of text and 50 Pages of Plates covering farthings, pennies, halfpennies and also proof, patterns, trial and other fascinating pieces. The book is in excellent general condition, there are no torn pages, and the book looks virtually unused. The only damage is a slight tear about 1 1/2" long to the paper dust jacket, which has been repaired with sellotape. Also included is what I assume to be the original receipt from "Empire Coin Company" to Mr. Frederick Mayo on the 20th April 1964. I can provide pictures if required.

I would be willing to sell for £110 which would include shipping costs within the UK. If anyone is interested can they either PM or e-mail me.

I'd have it. But only to sell on for a small profit. So I'll leave it to someone else.

From the invoice date, it's the 1st edition, which has a tiny bit less in it, but is still worth having for £110!

110 pounds sterling is probably a fair price for the book. It is going for $275 to $345 on the open market right now.

The 1964 edition is the second edition, which is what I have. The first edition is a 1960 volume.

I should clarify that it is the 1960 version.

Yes, you're right, so it was.

I'm not near my copy right now, but I thought the second edition was 1970

That's the lithographic reprint of the 1964 edition.

I'm sure mine is the 1970...... I didn't realize that it was a reprint......... I'll have to check when I get home....

It's STILL a great reference.....
