  1. Super Thanks

    The 2020 edition of Spink will suffice in terms of information- the latest edition will provide a more up to date price guide- prices have jumped exponentially since 2020- and you can take with a pinch of salt price guides when it comes to the higher grade examples! 
    Auction sites such as Noonans, London Coins, Spink, Hosker Haynes, Baldwins etc. etc are also great resources as well as specialist online dealers.

    I would say spend time visiting well established coin fairs, handle the coins, and ask the dealers questions- importantly, find an era/ period/ monarch you’re interested in and do some research.  Also join some Facebook groups where you’ll pick up some good information.
    There’s some fabulous books available that’ll give you lots of reading/ overview, I would recommend this Spink book- it won’t break the bank either, there is also a Decimal volume.
    Spink, Coins of England Pre- Decimal Issues, is in my opinion, a must have- this will provide you a good overview of each period from Celtic Coinage up until Elizabeth II Pre- Decimal.  The 2024 Edition will be released soon.

    Once you find a period you’re interested in- then get geeky!

    As rich said above really, he clearly knows a lot more about English hammered coins than I do, I follow metal detector groups and have a general interest in our history and coinage. Ive bought old coins that have interested me as and when I've seen them but I'm certainly not an expert.
    Lots of great groups on Facebook including buy/sell groups.
    Try and stay away from ebay when buying ancients as they are a lot harder to tell real from fake.

    Don't know much about this one.  It's about 18mm diameter and 1.48 grams.  Anyone have a guess at denomination or any more info, I'd love to know.  Thanks.
