Pre 1485 British Coins

I have recently been looking at this coinage and thought that since I live in Ireland I should be able to pick up a few quality pieces at reasonable prices but I have a few questions before I make a purchase of any sort:
1) How do top end market prices compare with prices in the Coin Yearbook 2005 ?
2) Who are some of the top dealers in this field ? ( I have the latest Roderick Richardson catalogue and the first few pages are DROOL material !! Unaffordable rare beauties. )
3) Are there many fakes/copies around ?
4) Could anyone recommend any books on this subject ?
If you have any knowledge of these early British coins then please post on this thread and share the information.
TIA.
