<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7935551, member: 97383"]John, Congrats on a fabulous haul <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! Great photos too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I don't collect coins of this period but enjoy seeing them. There is a simplicity & naivety to coins like these that gives them a special place in art history. I bought the latest edition of Spink's "Coins of England & the United Kingdom" & felt like I wasted $45 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The photos are horrendous <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Many of the photos are so dark that details aren't visible, line drawings would have been better. My 1966 edition has far better photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
