Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
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.
This is a price-guide reference book containing up-to-date values,
and lots of historical information on all campaign medals and
related items awarded to British and their colonial and local
allies from 1793 to 1902. Every significant campaign is covered,
including details of the various clasps awarded. The images of
medals and maps are full colour, and are often full page sized.

commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
