coinage book

[hami]

any advice please on a monograph dealing especialy with Victorian coinage in depth ? Thanks.

From what perspective? Varieties? Mint operations? Mint records? Prices?

varieties and mint operations as well as records, not interested in prices or rarities etc. thanks.

I know of no such book that covers all of that in one (but would love to be proved wrong).

A New History of the Royal Mint covers mint operations I think (I haven't had a good to read to see what exactly it covers though).

There's a Royal Mint annual report from the late 1800s on Google Books but I don't think most of the records are easily available.

For varieties there are Michael Gouby's books on pennies, Michael Freeman's book on bronze coinage, Peter Davies' book on silver coins and Michael Marsh's books on half sovereigns and sovereigns, though I think they're probably all out-dated to some degree or other. David Groom has some books on bronze and silver varieties too but they only start from 1900.

Mr T mentioned Michael Gouby. I've got his book covering bronze coinage minting operations from 1860 to 1869. It's a very good book, with a lot of really interesting historical information - here's a link

It's a bit slow going tracking down articles of interest though.
