Product Description

Product Description
The 2008 "Collectors' Coins Great Britain" (or CCGB2008 for short) contains comprehensive listings of all British coins from approximately the last 200 years with their varieties listed, values in up to five states of preservation and yearly mintage numbers. It includes the usual wealth of information about the coin weights, sizes and designers and this edition even has a free coin stuck to the front cover! The publisher believes this to be the most detailed coverage of the subject matter available, and for the price it really is the best value British coin book in the world! See the publishers website for details on the e-Book version of this title.

From the Author
The review from C H Perkins (me) that refers to the previous
edition should be removed from this edition because it's mis-leading as the
content was considerably updated for the new edition.
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick word from the author, 25 Oct 2005
By C. H. Perkins (Kent, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As the author of this book, I felt more details could be added to the Amazon listing, so if Amazon will permit me, I'll explain the contents of the book in more detail:

This is the second Collectors Coins GB that I have been responsible for. The new book contains current market values for all British non gold coins dated 1797 - 2005. It includes all proof coins, and some patterns, as well as separate listings for Maundy and decimal coins. This 33rd annual edition has extra introductions to each coin type, and includes, for the first time, the names of the designers and some useful information about the coins. Many of the pictures have been improved or replaced and a few new images have been added.

Every single coin has been looked at and had its price checked and adjusted (most were adjusted upwards!) The price information was gathered from my own experience dealing in coins, and using a database set up to enable the actual readers/collectors to enter price data for coins they had actually bought, or seen sold. This ensured that the prices are as accurate as possible.

The print quality and cover is a bit better than the previous edition too. If you have any comments about the book, let me know, as I want to ensure it gets a bit better each year.
