Sheencrofter Valued Member Ireland 201 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 06:40 am Hi all, I am thinking of specialising in Victorian coins, especially the pennies. What a mine field ! I have the Spinks book with the pages of Obverse and Reverse pictures. But I still find it complicated when reading the various differences between the different coins. Such as L.C.WYON, leaves, berries, etc. Is there a book or site out there that gives information on what all these things mean. Many thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Peck numbers are used extensively for copper and Freeman numbers for bronze. So far so good. You are very rich, aren't you? Because these books will cost you a fortune, if you can find them. Fortunately there is also The British Bronze Penny,Victoria 1860 - 1901 Struck for use as currency by Michael Gouby. Michael is more than highly respected in British coins, he's been in business as Michael Coins since before the flood, and best of all he cross references to Freeman and Peck. http://www.michael-coins.co.uk/our__books.htm Report this Post to the Staff
