Got this from the wife today. She is well aware that I have an obsession with books on coins and this one was on my 'to buy' list.
Cheers, Met.

If you don't have this one...he is a detectorist from the UK and a lot of the stuff he cleans is Roman.

Vic: That's been on my want list for a while (along with books on colouring/bronzing/patination), but I don't see many copies in the US. Hopefully it's easier to find for Met.

Samoth, my copy is ordered, 14 pounds, should make interesting reading. If you do find a good book on patination etc. let me know please as sometimes I overclean brooches and the like that I find.

That's way cheaper than I've seen it listed in the US. Let us know if it's good reading -- maybe it's worth paying a bit more here.

The other two books I'm looking for:
- Colouring Bronzing & Patination of Metals, Hughes & Rowe
- Metal Colouring & Bronzing, Hiorns

These aren't specific to coins, but look relevant to conservation & preservation.
