Customer Reviews

I have several editions.

I have several editions of this book. You can never have too many. Each one comes with a different mix. And the newer editions, of course, will have the newer coins. This is not a substitute for the Standard Catalog of World Coins, but it is better focused on England and a lot easier to carry. The book also teaches us a little bit of symbolism and history. Keep in mind that this is still just a guide. Other factors determine the value of the coin to you and others.

Review of 23rd edition ISBN:0900652-96-9

I have several editions of this catalog, as I want to be sure that the addition on one coin will not be at the expense of another. I weigh one catalog against another for grading and importance of the coin. As you can see, the pricing will be completely out dated. However, the other information will hold true. This edition boasts: Every major coin type listed Revised values for two grades of preservation from the seventh century and for three grades of preservation from the reign of Charles II two the early 20th century Over 5000 coins illustrated A detailed revision of the elaboration of the coinage of Henry VII to Charles I, to include many new varieties and mint marks Introduction to the coinage of each reign Values and illustrations of latest Elizabeth II issues There are no color plates in this catalog.
