I'd say 100% Davies for general English Silver, far superior to ESC, providing you don't want to go back any further than 1816. ESC of course goes back to 1649!

You could do with Collectors Coins GB for less than a fiver.It will give you ESC refs and a load more.

Ive got last 2 or 3 Collectors Coins GB, same with Coin yearbooks.

Guide to Grading British Coins and one Coin monthly yearbook from 1968:)

And many Coin News magazines...

Now after i read those and this Forum archives, seen thousands of coins on ebay and dealers' websites and spent couple grand on some rubish coins from farthings to sovereigns i decided i like 19th/early 20th century silver the most. That made me realise that i should read more books first. So i need something specific about english silver before i start spending money again

Ah, and whats the best place to buy them?

eBay?

Thanks

Dave Grooms book is a good companion to Davies (it comprehensively covers the 20th C)...you can get Dave's book by Private Messaging him directly on here! Davies, P. J. (British Silver Coins Since 1816) you can get from Amazon, or maybe Rob, John, Derek, none for sale on Pre-Decimal though (just checked)!

I think Rob is working on a silver book.

I think Rob is working on a silver book.

Really? Blimey, I look forward to that!

Peter's being saying that for a while now. I'm not aware that Rob has ever confirmed or denied it.

I know it's not relevant to the OP but the late great Colin Cooke was working on the farthing replacement for CW Peck before his sad demise.
