TomGoodheart Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I have copies of Edward Besley's Coins and Medals of the English Civil War (128pp, Seaby/National Museum of Wales, 1990) and George Boon's Cardiganshire Silver and the Aberystwyth Mint in Peace and War (287 pp, National Museum of Wales 1981) if anyone is interested before I list on ebay? I bought them from Galata in 2004. They are both in good condition (though I've written my name in them in pencil) and make very interesting reading for anyone interested in the period.The Cardiganshire book discusses mining and minting processes and the accounts of Thomas Bushell, the Besley covers a wider scope, though is a smaller book. Both are nicely illustrated, the latter with some plates in colour.I paid £23 for the Besley and £50 for the Boon but I'm willing to haggle/negotiate on price if I know they're going to a good home!I'm happy to answer any questions if anyone wants more details!
TomGoodheart Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 *bump*I've decided to keep the Besly, but Boon's book on the Aberystwyth mint is still available if anyone is interested?
