<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CBJesse, post: 1857830, member: 40089&quot;]Here is my take on the situation, with the forewarning that I focus entirely on US issues, with this being the opinions of an outside observer. Also, I seem to recall, that you collect the more recent coins, 1800-, if this is not so than most of the following doesn&#039;t apply.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is plenty of literature available pertaining to British numismatics. There are a couple of problems you run into though. One, being, a large majority of it is pre-Modern era, focusing on Roman-Britain, Celtic issues, hammered coinage and others.That is not to say there are not literature relating to later coinage, but much of it is buried in periodicals and the big one, out of print books. But this is the case with almost many areas of study within numismatics, I don&#039;t believe I have a book in my library that is in-print, but the cost is worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the mean time here is something you may find of extreme value, that is, if you don&#039;t already know about it. The British Numismatic Society has made all/most back issues of their yearly journal, available by free download. Again, there is much about the early coinage but I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll find plenty interesting. Here it is: <a href="http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital BNJ.shtml</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, with US coinages, there is so few series, that it is possible for research to study each in depth, even by die marriage. But with Britain, could you imagine, 2000 years of coinage to study, it&#039;s far more difficult to document it all, even though they got a head start on us!</p><p><br /></p><p>Good to see you posting again. Happy reading!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jesse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
