Past Printed Catalogues — a Useful Reference for just $20
I have a dwindling supply of my previous illustrated catalogues and printed price lists. Hundreds of B&W photos show most of the types of British milled coins, and many hammered and World coins as well. If you would like to have a set, I can offer a minimum of 10 different issues (more likely you will get closer to 20, depending upon availability), delivered postpaid, for just $20. In the age of cyberspace, these may well become collectibles themselves some day!
