<p>[QUOTE="Zonker, post: 7657340, member: 84143"]The Marsh book is the definitive book on the series.

The Coins of England published by Spinks is another good book to own. It also lists most of the major varieties, but does not include all of them or some of the minors. Grading British Coins is another excellent book to own. The above is just the beginning of the books to own if you are serious about collecting one of the most influential coins in the world that has over a 500 year history and provides probably the greatest number of ways that you can build a set due to the length of time that they have been issued along with the number of countries where they were minted.[/QUOTE]
