The accumulating and study of coins, tokens and paper money is one of the world’s oldest hobbies. While it can be an expensive pursuit if you are chasing rare coins, the basics can be picked up for relatively modest sums.
Coins have a great deal of historical importance, and they are also beautiful and often intriguing items to hold. They often carry a narrative and a story that is both fascinating and valuable to collectors around the globe. Many hobbies can require a huge amount of cash to start, but coin collecting is a hobby that can be started without a huge outlay of equipment and can even be a lucrative venture.
A very useful guide to the modern UK decimal coinage, this book has been fully extended and updated since its original publication in 1962. It covers all normal and commemorative coin types issued by the Royal Mint up to the end of 2022 and includes both proofs and non circulating precious metal coin issues too. This is a well researched book, with honest and realistic valuations of the coinage, which should be an essential reference for anyone interested in modern British coins.
This is a highly detailed, scholarly study of the coin finds in England from the time of Edgar’s reform until the time of Domesday Book (essentially the death of William the Conqueror). Metcalf uses find evidence to show that the early English coinage was mostly North-South, concentrating trade along the East coast.
