Collectors' Coins: Great Britain 2010 Book

The popular coin collectors handbook since 1973, and it still lists the most varieties and is still at least GB£5 cheaper than its nearest rival.British coins are a fascinating field, each coin a historical document, each type has a design depicting an element of British society or culture, and the Royal family tree can be traced back on them, non only in words, but in pictures too. The fact these coins were spent by past generations and treated just like we treat modern coins, gives an insight into what people handled in days long gone. Coins can teach many aspects about the past, they can also cultivate the imagination, and who knows where that could lead.With the help of Collectors Coins Great Britain, you can learn what's rare and what isn't, and how many British coins of each type were minted each year. You can see pictures of every king or queen, and every different denomination. You can learn about the people that designed the coins, including the designer that was actually born at the Royal Mint premises.

Most importantly you can see what all these different coins sell for in up to 5 different states of preservation. With this book as your guide and the knowledge you will gain, you can value your existing collection, or purchase new coins without potentially paying too much for them.This colour book lists all known major varieties for every coin type, as well as mintage numbers where recorded for each date.
