Title: Coin Identification Books Post by: ysbytymike on September 08, 2011, 07:37:58 PM Picked up two very interesting books in Hay on Wye today.
1/ Collecting Coins by Frank Purvey (1969) Marked selling price 5/- now £3.00 2/ Coin Collecting by T. Hanson (1967) No market original price but again now £3-00 I was surprised how few book stores even kept books on coinage in Hay. We only found the one shop and even then there were only a few titles there. A friend of mine who collects stamps, says the stamp fair held in Neath on the first Wednesday of the month does have a stall there where he's sure he's seen books on collecting and identifying coins. Certainly worth a visit me thinks.

One lady tried to sell me a book on nylon decorative buttons, "because they are the same shape" ha!

Have you thought about writing a book ;D ;D ;D
