Thanks again for the advice Peckris

Im a complete newbie and havent got a clue really. I just wanted a book with an overview on coin collecting (ie how to look after and organise coins ect) and maybe a recomendation of something easy to collect for a beginner. This is what the dummies book is but as its an american book its mostly about collecting american coins. Someone recommeded "Collecting Coins" by P. Frank Purvey but i cant find any information about it.

Hi, can anyone recommend a good first book on coin collecting. Im not after a book on values of coins, more of a starter guide to coin collecting. Ive had a look on amazon and there's a book called "Coin Collecting for dummies" that looks alright, but apparently its mostly about collecting american coins. Does anyone know a similar book based more on british coin collecting? Thanks, Rob
