Spink English Silver Coinage

Recommended Posts

Downloaded the 2021 edition of Spink yesterday for $15 from Amazon which is pretty good value. Still have my 2016 edition if I have the need for a real book in my hands.

Getting electronic copies of annual catalogues is a great idea and also good for the planet. Hardcopies take up space on the bookshelves. I would still want hard copies of books like ESC as they only get updated once every two decades.

Yes, but....running microprocessors gulps energy, and that's the problem. Reading a book does not......

When you're in a wheelchair it's a lot easier to negotiate a computer than a book. Anyway, the newer Macs are very low on power as they're using 5nm chips, and before long will be down to 3nm which consume ridiculously little power.

Wait there was a first edition?

What is it like compared to The Gold Sovereign?

I don’t have neither of the Bull versions, I didn’t know either that there was a gold version out, just spotted it elsewhere, but always good for another reference, I don’t think it goes to the depth that Marsh did or that Steve Hill has subsequently updated.

Okay that was my assumption too - the silver coins book doesn't go into the depth of Davies that's for sure.

Any looked at a copy of the first edition?
