I don't want to appear thick but what is Spink 3781 and Peck 1376?

I have had a bag full of coins since my grandmother died in 1987 and have just got round to going through them. It's all new to me

Spink is the annual tome produced by Spink giving a reasonably comprehensive list of British coin together with approximate prices. The new issue comes out at the end of September/beginning of October every year. The current edition looks like this. 3781 is the reference in this book.

C W Peck wrote English Copper, Tin and Bronze Coins in the British Museum 1558-1958 and there are 2 editions. The first (of which there is an example for sale on eBay at this time) is not as good as the second which contains updated info. 1376 is the reference in this book for the halfpenny pictured. This is still the most comprehensive reference book for these coins.
