But back then there was already 1 country whose coinage was immensely popular among US collectors - Great Britain. </p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, today, I think that popularity has dropped off just a bit from what it was as many collectors have switched their focus to the coins of other countries. But there are still a lot of collectors whose primary focus is Great Britain. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for books, as already mentioned there are lots of them out there. But they are less well known here in the US just like the books on coins of almost any other country are. But within the host country, they are very well known.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to collect British coins to a limited degree and I found that 2 books satisfied my needs quite well. The Spink book already mentioned, and the J.J. North books (2 volumes) on English hammered coins. Those two books all by themselves covered everything I ever wanted to know quite well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
