Coins of England 2021 Pre-Decimal Hardcover
The Spink book is the one you’re most likely to find a professional coin dealer in the UK using to find details and prices of a given British coin. It’s the Standard Catalog of British Coins. Get it from Amazon UK.
Again, the 2021 catalog has been split into two separate books; one for older coins and one for decimal. This book lists every major coin from Celtic to 1968, together with its price.
Coins of England and the United Kingdom is hardcover and 576 pages long, full of illustrations. It’s a reference book rather than a guide to coin collecting, but is a necessary purchase for anyone serious about British coins. It’s the handbook of British.
