<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 5132, member: 708&quot;]For the British stuff dated 1066 and later, i strongly recommend</p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;R. Lobel, <i>CoinCraft&#039;s Standard Catalogue of English and UK Coins 2000</i> (London, 1999)&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>Mr Lobel is actually an American by birth.</p><p><br /></p><p>The price guide is a bit off, but the info in it is truely worth it! I know some US collectors have a copy, i think you could get it in the States.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s a fascinating read, includes hammered, milled, gold, silver, copper, bronze, tin. Patterns, touchpieces, a brief section on jetons and coin weights, also mintage figures for most coins date after 1816, and some limited biographical details for the people that designed the coins, E.g Benedetto Pistrucci (who designed St Geo and the Dragon) and William Wyon of Una and the Lion fame (who had an apprentice by the name of Mr T Morgan).</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe they do a similar catalogue for Scottish and Irish coins. (plus Jersey, Guernsey and Lundy).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
