This is an enhanced reprint of the most current edition. 80% of the
existing images in the main section have been replaced and there is
a new appendix containing over 100 coins that were not included in
the last edition (this is the first ever attempt to update the
information for over 30 years). Where there is new information, the
main text contains references to the new appendix and some of the
rarity ratings have also been adjusted. This new book is also
slightly larger than previous versions, in an attempt to improve
the quality of the images and ease of identification. In this book
Mr Freeman articulately describes the differences between the
obverse and reverse types of the subject matter. Where relevant
there are tables of the possible combinations of reverses and
obverses, often many combinations even for a single coin date.
Proofs in bronze and other metals are also listed. Alterations to
the dies, including changes to the date punches and major
overstrikes resulting in letters/digits appearing to be struck on
other letters or digits. Over 1000 different coins are listed,
including patterns (both official and unofficial).Decimal coins
have been removed from this edition (they were previously only
listed from 1971 to 1983) and there are no values in this book, it
is solely concerned with the varieties of bronze coinage. Each coin
type in the main section and some of those in the new appendix are,
as mentioned above, assigned an estimated rarity on a 41 point
scale from 'believed unique' to many millions made.
