English Milled Coinage EMC 1662-1972

It close to 30 years ago since Alan Rayner and myself had published EMC. English Milled Coinage

The purpose of the book was to show RARITY to GRADE.

Spinks sold 10'000 copies, I am wondering what happened to the books and are they still used as a guide?

    Good question. I am not aware of the book, but would love to see one. I currently use Marsh's book for a guide to sovereigns and half soveriens. I also use the Spinks' coins of England.

    Maybe you can explain this? It seems this could mean afew different things

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I don't have a copy myself but I do see them used as references for rarity of various issues, primarily by British dealers and auction houses.

    It could be similar to the Rayner book on English Silver Coinage, which comments on rarity only in higher grades.

    Yes, surprised it was only a printing of 10,000 as they are quite common and one of the first books I got 20+ years ago.

    An update with regards to date, preservation state and rarity in that state would be nice.


    A couple of listings always bothered me (like the 1862 & 1864 proof 2/6s) where I thought rarity was perhaps underrated, and others that I will not bore the crowd with quite the opposite.

    Well, just Love coins, period.

    It's selling for 5 to 10 pounds in good/excellent condition.
