rpeddie Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 thanks thats exactly what im looking for Quote
Rob Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Sears Roman Coins in the various parts covers these. You should be able to pick up the 4 volumes for not too much over £100 if you are patient, certainly less than £200. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 A great one for ID-ing ancient Greek is Richard Plants 'Greek Coins and their Identification'. I should know as I'm currently manually typing the whole thing from scratch to appear probably in 2015 as a Rotographic book (in metric and with some updates). For now, you'll have to make do with the re-printed 1979 version:http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0900652470?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creativeASIN=094896409X&linkCode=xm2&tag=predecimalcoi-21And of course for Roman there are the 2 linked to in my sig.And for German I can supply the standard German catalogue (1871 to date) for about £14.00.

Rob Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Most national catalogues cost no more than the first decent coin you will buy for that country - always a worthwhile investment DavidThat's a statement that ought to be pinned to the top of any list of collecting hints. Nobody who collects coins can rationally argue that books are a waste of money, yet so many are reluctant to spend even a pound. Quote
