[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 8193790, member: 86815"]Of the referred references cited by the auction house, I only have North which I like because of the profusion of plates, my posted Coin for example, has 6 examples to look at. I also use Spink, English Coins as a quick reference but find this not as useful as North. To give a precise answer to your question, North.
