Quantities are available from stock for immediate dispatch.

This new 3rd edition has a new introduction, a little more info in the appendices and most importantly, the values are given in GBP and US$

If you already have a collection of Roman base metal coins, or have an interest in them, this book will shed a lot of light on exactly what coins you have and provide approximate market valuations based on recent dealers selling prices and auction results. 

'Roman Base Metal Coins - A Price Guide' contains current market values for all Roman non Gold or Silver coins used in the Republic, Imperial Empire and breakaway usurper Empires, as well as the later divided East and West Empires.

With market values in GBP and US$ listed by type, known varieties listed or shown, it really is the best value paperback on Roman base metal Coins. 

It's a small A5 book (21 x 15cm) and is especially handy to take to shops, coin meetings, boot sales or other places where it isn't practical to take a giant heavy book. 

The book is written by Reverend Richard Plant, and in keeping with all the Rotographic titles, it provides plenty of valuations and information to help you catalogue your collection or just to make interesting reading. 

Part of the introduction reads like this:

'This is a book for the collector rather than the scholar and, as such, needs to be pocket-sized and inexpensive. I have assumed that the reader will be more interested in assigning a coin to its proper period or Emperor rather than in working out the meaning of the design on the reverse and, therefore, whilst most of the usual obverse portraits and legends are illustrated, the reverses are dealt with in a much more cursory manor. Further, NOT ALL Roman base metal coins are included. This is a selection of the available material, hopefully including the vast majority of the coins the collector is likely to encounter in real life.'

With full, secure credit card facilities.

Thankyou for looking at this page, I hope to hear from you soon.
