5.0 out of 5 stars
Has some very good features, May 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Coincraft's 1999 Standard Catalogue of English and Uk Coins 1066 to Date (Hardcover)
While it is not as comprehensive as the "Seaby" catalogue, it does have some very useful features such as the rarities of the different mints and line drawings of the many different types of the Henry III, Edward I and earlier, making them easier to identify.
It does not include the Anglo-Saxon coins of before 1066, but is a very helpful resource for any English collector.

Not just a pricing catalog., November 15, 2002
This review is from: Coincraft's 1999 Standard Catalogue of English and Uk Coins 1066 to Date (Hardcover)
Coincraft has a series of catalogs and related information. This particular Catalog as described in the title is more than just a price guide. It features:
* Hammered and milled patterns
* Collecting Hints for each series
* Quick-Index-Charts
* Over 700 pages, with illustrations & line drawings
* Over 50,000 prices
* Numismatic Glossary
* Introduction to coin collecting
* History of British Coinage
* Notes on grading
* Mysteries explained
* Index of Engravers & Designers of milled coins
* Comprehensive general index
It is time to dive into collection and what can be more intriguing than the coins that you see and hear about in old English movies. Add to that coins that represent historical events and people. It is always safer to have some for knowledge and this is the book to give it.
