This book is a good complement to Seaby’s "Standard Catalogue of British coins.” In this day and age, when gold and silver make their mark as not only a collection but an investment, copper is often overlooked.
There are no color plates, but the black-and-white pictures are crisp. Naturally, the prices are 1961 prices, but everything else in the book holds.
From the introduction:
This is the first part of a new price catalog for minor coins and tokens of the British Isles struck in copper and other base metals.
Part one of this catalog deals solely with the official coinage of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and certain British islands.
Part two will cover the token coinage of the British Isles, but unlike part one, it will be a select list only, particularly so far as the seventh-century series is concerned.
This catalog is necessary for any collector or numismatist.
