Significant new discoveries since 1985, Plates I - XVIII, BibliographyReviewsMichael Freeman is acknowledged to be the leading expert on British bronze coins, having once had 60,000 Victorian pennies in his collection. Originally published in 1970, this excellent and invaluable reference guide is sought-after by dealers and collectors alike. This book also includes an explanation of rarity symbols, ranging from R20 meaning unique to C20 indicating a mintage of over 150 million. I would consider it an essential reference to any serious collector or dealer of bronze coinage and, as such, it is deemed as the 'benchmark'. Author InformationThe author Michael J. Freeman once had over 60,000 Victorian pennies plus thousands of other British bronze coins. He devoted over 35 years to the study of them and identified and organised them, assigning each a unique and logically number. His numbering system and book on bronze coinage is still used as the standard reference more than 45 years after it was first published. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
