Cointosser77 Valued Member United Kingdom 195 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 7:21 pm FMAN number is the number in the book The Bronze Coinage of Great Britain, by Michael J Freeman and PECK/BMC number is C Wilson Peck / British Museum Collection number I wanted to know if there is an easy table online or in a book to convert a PECK number into FMAN and vice versa for convenience when going through coins.

Cointosser77 Valued Member United Kingdom 195 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 7:25 pm To add I don't own neither the Peck nor Freeman books but Collector's Coins GB and in there it will give the PECK number and for newer ones it will give the FMAN number, so if I know at least 1 of the numbers it would help looking the coin up even if the number is different without having to buy both the Freeman and Peck books.

Cointosser77 Valued Member United Kingdom 195 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 07:29 am If you have this book what does P.1708 remaps as to FMAN #? (It is an 1876 Penny) Edited by Cointosser77 02/15/2013 07:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 5:36 pm I have Freeman's book, but I see now that you'll probably need both books to convert the numbers. The appendix only converts the obverse and reverse die numbers, not the unique ID numbers in each book. Freeman numbers for the 1876 penny varieties are 87, 88, 89 and 89A though.
