Master Jmd Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Whats your oldest coin book?...mine is 'The Young Collector, English Coins And Tokens' published in 1888. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I have not got an old book yet. I hope to get a Peck next year. Quote
Sylvester Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Edward Hawkins' Silver Coins of England, 1st Ed. 1841.(Something about me and first edition books). Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Mines only 2002 too! That's when I really started to get serious about collecting. Quote
Master Jmd Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 hehe...looking through my few coin books i can say that:18881903196419641979200320042004 Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Books are not at the top of my priority list at the moment. Getting together the funds for my reserved 1902LT is! It shouldn't take me more than a month hopefully. If I did get a numismatic book then I would just get a Peck. Quote
Master Jmd Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 may i ask where are you getting your 1902LT? Quote
Sylvester Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I'm the other way with the books...Silver Coins of England; 1841Spinks; 1985Collectors' Coins; 1992-3Seaby; 1993Coincraft; 2000English Hammered Coinage; 2000Collectors' Coins; 2004 (Thanks for sending me that Chris! Well i had to know what i was working on didn't i?) The Redbook; 2004(English Hammered by North was the last one i bought for £90, i also splashed out on a Redbook).But generally i only buy a new price catalogue every 7 years. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 may i ask where are you getting your 1902LT? A secret contact who specialises in halfpennies! No, it's Saltford coins, but they do specialise in halfpennies. He told me that it the best one he has seen. Quote

Unknown Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 My oldest one was CCGB 2004, but I gave it to a friend when I got CCGB2005, so this one and the Krause World Coins 1901-2005 are the only collecting books I have so far.Not very old indeed! Quote
