Books on British Coins

Hardcover with dust jacket, 400 pages, fully illustrated in colour throughout. Written by David Dykes, former director of the National Museum of Wales. This book draws on recent research and aims to put Britain's eighteenth-century provincial token coinage into the context of the currency problems of the time. On the basis of a wide-range of both documentary and secondary sources it examines its major manufacturers and their intentions, and through profiles of many of the issuers involved it sets out to give a living dimension to a bygone monetary phenomenon.

Coincraft`s Standard Catalogue of the Coins of Scotland, Ireland, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

Coincraft’s Standard Catalogue of the coins of Scotland, Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man was published nearly 25 years ago in 1999 and, at the time, it was a ground-breaking new work which detailed over 1000 years of coin issues beginning with the earliest Hiberno-Norse coinage in 995 AD and running right through to the latest decimal issues of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The book didn’t stop there as it also covers token issues, proof and specimen sets, patterns and Ecus with detailed information about the coin issues and market values in up to four grades for some issues. The book is profusely illustrated throughout with helpful collecting hints noted for a lot of the earlier issues. It is a large format A4 hardbound book with 440 pages and it was published at the time at £34.50 Now, here’s the thing, we thought we had sold out of this book but in a recent stocktake at our warehouse we found around 100 copies gathering dust in a corner and we weren't sure what to do with them so we came up with this offer for you, our collectors. As we mentioned, the book sold for £34.50 back in 1999 but we are going to offer you the book together with a pack of 8 coins (also with a retail price £34.50) from Scotland, Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man for just £24.50 in total, that’s 8 coins plus this great book all for £24.50. Tell us we are mad but honestly, we want a handful of our collectors to own a copy of this great book and enjoy using it and maybe start collecting these underappreciated coins.
