HANDBOOK OF THE COINS OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM GRUEBER, H.A. 1899, HARDCOVER, HALF MOROCCAN LEATHER BOUND CONDITION: ACCEPTABLE This Handbook of the Coins of Great Britain & Ireland in the British Museum by H.A. Grueber, published in 1899, provides a comprehensive, chronologically arranged guide to the coinage of Great Britain and Ireland, covering specimens from the earliest Anglo-Saxon issues around A.D. 600 to the late 19th century. The handbook describes and illustrates nearly every denomination and significant issue exhibited in the British Museum’s collection, including 974 English, 234 Scottish, and 134 Irish coins, and offers detailed historical context, lists of mint-marks, and translations of coin mottoes. With sixty-four plates depicting notable examples, the work serves both as a catalog of the museum’s holdings and as a general reference for British numismatics, tracing the evolution of coinage from ancient times through successive reigns and political changes.

Very detailed and accurate description. I selected the purchase based on the specificity of the description, which addressed the appearance and (lack of) smell of the item—normally sellers don’t mention smell, but it is very important for purchasing very old books, so I appreciated that the seller specifically stated the book had a clean smell (and that the description was accurate). The item was carefully packaged and shipping was fast. Thank you!

I received an out of print book at a very nice price. Very carefully packaged and the book arrived earlier than estimated and in exactly the condition described in the initial listing. Highly recommend this seller for antique books. The seller really carefully handles the books and as someone also selling collectibles on eBay, it is nice to see other sellers carefully package items.

The book was packaged carefully to ensure no damage was done on the way and was shipped out very quickly! Super happy with this purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again!!!!! :)
