Rob Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Welcome to the forum. When you say Edwardian pennies, I assume you mean medieval rather than Ed.VII? Quote
Matteo95 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks you all ! Yes Rob I mean Edward I/II pennies Quote
Rob Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 You want The Galata guide to the Pennies of Edward I/II and the coins of the mint of Berwick-upon Tweed by Paul & Bente Withers. ISBN 0-9543162-5-8. This is their home page. http://www.galata.co.uk/default.asp You will find it by scrolling through the Books section - £25. There are others, but this is arguably the best.Paul & Bente are very helpful Quote

TomGoodheart Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Hi Matteo.. A copy was listed (along with other books) for sale at a recent auction (Last Tuesday): http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/tooveys/catalogue-id-srtoo10050/lot-c3ed551f-129b-42a9-b094-a47c00ad463b The results do not have a price for that lot so maybe it didn't sell. You could perhaps email the auctioneers and see if it is available? A link to their email address appears on the Saleroom website. . Quote

I was confused by the website! However I suspect an auction search might be a good route. It seems to be one of the scarcer Sylloges. In that I haven't found it through any of my usual sources. Quote
copper123 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Books in italian on english coins are probably non existant , a pity but not surprising as there would be a very small market and so specialist Quote
copper123 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I must admit italian coins have had such a colorful existance over the years I am surprised you dont just specialise in them .Remember napoleons italy and mussolini Quote
TomGoodheart Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 No help right now but quite a few members here are also coin dealers. Possibly one of them might help if they know to look out for a copy for you. A post here: http://www.predecimal.com/forum/forum/57-wanted/ certainly can't do any harm! . Quote
Matteo95 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks tom I will try !! I have no urgency so I'll expect ... Copper you're right and in fact Genoese coinage is my first passion but I like also english coins and when I can i'd lie to buy one . Quote

Ah, well.. although mainly a British forum, several members collect 'foreign' coins and we have a thread where members can post photographs. I'm sure many of us would be interested to see some of your collection and read a bit more if you'd like to add something: http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/6056-recent-aquisitions/ . 1 Quote

Crown Jules Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Ciao Matteo.When I was younger I used to collect Italian coins (My father was Italian and I lived in Naples for a while). I am probably going to get rid of a few as I want to concentrate on UK Shillings. You may even be able to point me in the right direction in identifying some of them. Or even recommend a website?

Crown Jules Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Hi MatteoI've started a thread, with a couple of pics.(in foreign coins area)I've got quite a few coins, so it would be interesting to see if any of them are rare...so a website would be useful Quote
