When 'English Silver Coinage since 1649' was first published more than 40 years ago, it quickly became the standard work of reference for the series. This fifth edition is now published as the most up to date and authoritative guide to English silver coinage from 1649 to the present day. It has not only been reset to make it easier to read but also extensively revised and extended to include details of modern issues, results of the latest research and more. Leading collectors, experts and the Royal Mint have contributed to make this new edition truly comprehensive and an essential reference book for anyone seriously interested in the English silver series. Over 3,000 coins are listed and more than 400 are illustrated. The introduction includes dates, varieties, comparitive rarity, patterns and proofs. There is also a chapter on the history of milled coinage.
