<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nap, post: 4667143, member: 73099&quot;]Good references, I second that.&nbsp; Spink guidebook is produced yearly, and changes year-to-year are minimal.&nbsp; A guidebook from a few years ago should be very inexpensive to procure and nearly up to date with prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>A comprehensive collection of English hammered coins is a massive undertaking and one which realistically cannot be completed.&nbsp; If you go back to Anglo-Saxon times, you encounter some monarchs and types that are so rare, none are known outside of museums.&nbsp; For example, a coin of Beorhtric of Wessex, or a portrait penny of Eadwig.&nbsp; Still, these barriers to completion do not stop many from collecting old British coins, and the market remains buoyant.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, it is well within many collectors&#039; means to approach this area of collecting without breaking the bank, and build an impressive set.</p><p><br /></p><p>After all, you can collect Roman Republican without all the rare imperatorial types, or without all the different muses or labors of Hercules[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
