Early World Coins Package Deal

We have a handful of copies of this great book entitled ‘Early World Coins & Early Weight Standards’ by Robert Tye, an expert in this area. He published this book in 2009 and it has since been my go-to book for identifying any unusual early World coins for which you would otherwise need a whole library to cover. The 192 page book is packed with line-drawings which make it easy to spot the details to look for on coins which make them identifiable. It is full of useful information about the dynasties and rulers who issued the coins and goes into the development of coinage from the early times. The book retails for £29.95 but, we have put together a starter pack of four early coins covered in the book, one ancient Roman coin; one from ancient India; one from the Islamic world and one from medieval Europe. The retail value of the coins alone is around £40, add to that the £29.95 for the book and you have a retail value of nearly £70 but you can have all this for £34.95 which is a whopping 50% saving! Beat that for value, a saving of £35. Broaden your horizons and learn about coinage from distant lands and long-forgotten rulers and dynasties with this great starter collection and book.

Victoria, Halfarthing Very Fine

The copper Half Farthing of Queen Victoria is a most unusual coin. They only made them in copper and most were used overseas, but they were of course legal tender and used in this country. We recently bought an old dealers hoard of these coins, most are dated 1844 or 1843 and they are in Very Fine condition. We last bought a hoard about ten years ago and this new hoard was very timely, as we had almost run out of them. They are not a coin that you can just go out and buy a quantity when you need it, they are not easy to get. This coin has always been one of my favourite denomination, a Half Farthing just sounds so unusual. The last time this denomination was used was under Queen Victoria and they were only struck in the early part of her reign, when the coins were copper and not bronze.
