5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is excellent! Why did it go out of print???,
By
This review is from: Coincrafts 2000 Standard Catalogue of English and U. K. Coins: 1066 To Date (Hardcover)
This book gives excellent coverage of the general background knowledge of British and UK coinage in just the right amount of detail. There is so much that I have learned in addition to the basic mintage information. Other books don't really compare. The organization is excellent, the illustrations plentiful and the historical information significant and interesting. In addition there are "collecting hints" boxes by each issue that offer advice to collectors about what to look for in obtaining a specimen. The vintage photos of coins being minted are an added bonus, although the book could be printed on better quality paper considering that it is a hardback. The price seems quite high, but that may be because it is now out of print. That's my last complaint....why did it go out of print???? A new edition with more up-to-date prices would be great. But still, the information inside this is worth the five stars...it is a book that you can sit down and read, not just a "price list." Any collector of UK coins should have this ref in their library.
