    Coins of England and the United Kingdom 2020:
    Pre-decimal Issues (Spink)

    Key Attributes: Up-to-date Price Guide & photos
    from each reign

Coins of England and the United Kingdom 2020: Pre-decimal Issues The grandfather of all price guides This historic reference work for British coins is still the only catalogue to feature every major coin type from Celtic to the Elizabeth II pre-decimal issues, arranged in chronological order and divided into metals under each reign, then into coinages, denominations and varieties. This covers over 2000 years of English Coins. Most coin dealers will refer to a coin's Seaby/Spink reference number - so this is essential when buying, selling and cataloguing coins.

Since this book lists all English coinage (not just farthings), it can be useful for checking if a coin has been mis-classified. It is all too common for a larger "clipped" coin to be listed as a farthing - now you can check for yourself.
