Originally released as Fell's United States Coin Book, this
edition, revised in the Fell's Official Know-It-All Series, is
required reading for both serious and beginning coin collectors.
With hundreds of updated coin photos and thousands of prices, this
book has been a perennial favorite since 1943.
This is the b/w paperback version of "The Standard Guide to Grading
British Coins" - the 'Where's wear' of British numismatics! The
first book of its kind. A detailed photographic and descriptive
record of the grades of all British modern milled pre-decimal coins
(1797 to 1970). The grade of a coin dictates it's value. The age,
type or specific date are all of less importance than the
condition. But what is Fine, VF, EF or Uncirculated? If you are new
to coin collecting or specialise in different coin types, how can
you say without doubt that a coin is a certain grade? Until now you
could only guess. Now, at least you can make a very educated guess
based on the images shown in "The Standard Guide to Grading British
Coins". The photos of every obverse and reverse type are
illustrated at 2x or greater magnification and the text describes
where to look for the wear first. An invaluable guide to anyone who
collects coins, especially at the moment, with huge amounts of
overgraded coins being offered on the internet.
