What Book?

[goomolique 3]

Hello,

is there any book on gold coinage?

Sovereigns and halves to be precise?

Thanks

Two books. One for each denomination, by Michael A Marsh.

Hijacking Goomolique's thread, I now have CCGB 2014 and Grading British Coins and have just ordered a copy of Freeman. Could anyone advise other key texts but also, are there any specifically devoted around the George III reign?

Thanks, Richard

Davies is a major text for silver post 1816, highly, highly, recommended! George III copper is still generically catalogued using Peck, though there are further more specialist works in this wide field!

ESC goes back even further in the silver series, but I really don't rate it myself, even though it's a bible amongst cataloguers, which means you have to have it I guess????

Definitely Davies, though!

While ESC is quite out-of-date for much of it's relative rarity assessments, and omission of varieties discovered since it was last published, ESC reference numbers are still widely used ... if you can pick up a copy cheaply I definitely would (I got a copy of eBay 18 months ago in fabulous condition for under a tenner delivered).

If you get into varieties of modern silver or bronze (predominantly 20th century) then I would recommend David Groom's books on these (he is a member on here and kindly signed my book on silver varieties)

Thanks Paulus and coinery. I hope one day, I'll have half the knowledge you guys have!

And how about Queen Anne silver?
