Half Penny Jon Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Hello everyone,I really need a peck preferably the second edition. Has anyone got one that I could perhaps purchase?Jon. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Don't forget the peck numbers for most copper coins are in CCGB2005....I don't have a spare Peck though, I'm afraid. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 Yes i know but I think its about time I purchased one... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 They're not cheap these days, I think I remember getting £150 for a 1st edition. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 Ouch, in that case I may have to wait a while. Quote
Andy Bruce Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Hi HPJ - I've seen them sell at around £50 for a reasonable copy (2nd edition), but they don't turn up very often.Good luck in your search! Andy Quote
custard1966 Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Found a list herehttp://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st...053498_2:53:111hope this helps. Quote
Peter Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 There was a Peck on Ebay about 2 weeks ago it didn't make its reserve....Final Bid about £65 I think.My wife tracked mine down at Spink (it wasn't on their website) following advice from Colin Cooke !!!!She phoned their book department and they were very helpful.They had a few then...she bought me the best one .I was just going around in circles trying to find one.Think how many Pecks you will buy ???? Its a great book and another bit of the Numistmatic jigsaw. Quote

Will have to think about it though, £150 is a lot of money to a teenager...and I've got to think about the opportunity cost. Quote

Will have to think about it though, £150 is a lot of money to a teenager...and I've got to think about the opportunity cost.Happy to help It's worth giving these people a call http://www.galata.co.uk/I got my Peck & Freeman from them. They don't have any listed at present, but they would be a good bet to find one eventually.The list I found above was a book finding service - I just searched for Peck at the first site I found - there are plenty out there so it might be worth searching through a few more.

custard1966 Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 I just received Galata's latest catalogue.They have 4 Pecks for sale - all second edition - ranging between £100 and £115 pounds Quote
Peter Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Its not an essential book but worthwhile.I use mine less than I thought I would but I would never part with it.Get the £115 one....and give it your own coffee/red wine stains. Quote
custard1966 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 one for sale on E-bay, right nowhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PECK-ENGLISH-COPPER-...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
Emperor Oli Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 one for sale on E-bay, right nowhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PECK-ENGLISH-COPPER-...1QQcmdZViewItem Colin Cooke's staff have the first and only bid. Quote
Peter Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Colin told my wife not to pay more than £100...she did Cooke's usually use the gizzmo which bids 5 seconds from the end of the auction....I've laughed to myself watching key date farthings getting picked off.Try £101.77...if the Cookes are paying £90 then that says something.
