<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 3151042, member: 89970&quot;]30 years after auctioning my British coin collection (mostly milled issues), this numismatic area is drawing me back, although now&nbsp; I&#039;m mostly looking at hammered silver beginning with Edward I.&nbsp; I see lots of auction listings that indicate that an issue is rare.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is widely found in good collections being offered and rare issues command a premium even in lower grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are the best references for English hammered coins documenting varieties and mints?&nbsp; Back in the 70&#039;s and 80&#039;s, I owned both volumes of JJ North but basically found them not very useful.&nbsp; The issues of Charles I, for example, are particularly rich in variety, but I could use some guidance on navigating them.&nbsp; Are the BMC catalogs good references for the later hammered issues?&nbsp; Others?&nbsp; I don&#039;t mind paying high prices for books but I want to know they will be useful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any input would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
