The book, The British Bronze Penny (Victoria) 1860 to 1901 from Micheal gouby, who has it and would you recommend it? Sounds interesting and I am thinking of getting a copy but would like your opinions.

Thanks in advance. Gary.

Gary,

It is the BEST reference. The way it is cateloged really makes it easy to understand and to use. I have the Specialized Edition, and use it all the time.

I bought it last month, the latest edition, excellent reference for varieties, a good read to. You'll not need anything else for penny reference

Thanks for that, I suppose I will now have to order a copy. Just wanted to check that it was worth the £56 (with postage) :)

As it encompasses my current speciality,I might well buy it fairly soon.

The more info the better....I've bought books (& was given a load of old ones by an auctineer friend)....I can usually find what I need from my library :)

Get the book before the coin.

Hi Gary,

I'm sure you won't be disappointed with your purchase, I received my specialised edition of Gouby today and must say that I am very happy with it! It is well laid out, very easy to understand and contains a large number of clear, colour pictures which aid classification.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a serious interest in Victorian bronze pennies. It is a great reference tool in addition to Freeman and Peck and well worth the 50 quid.

The only downside to this book for me is that the pages are a little thin, would have been better with card like paper for the pictures, but still, a quality book and will give you endless nightmares trying to collect varieties :blink:

So true Azda,

Never thought I'd see the day, but within an hour of having the book I was busy counting border teeth and checking date widths :unsure::ph34r:

It looks like the endless nightmares have just begun ... :D
