Extremely Interesting Book for the Collector (0/0 people found this helpful)
This is a must have book for anyone interested in coins in general and Celtic coins in particular. Amazon have provided an extremely interesting synopsis to this book that gives you all the basic informationyou will need to know on the contents of this book and it needs no addition from me.
With the influx of the metal detector, more and more old coins are coming on to the open market, you only need to look at e-bay to see that, but Celtic coins are not in abundance. There are probably far more Roman coins found than celtic.
What this book does very well is show the reader how much history can be learned from a single coin and the image that has been stamped upon it. Celtic coins for me seem to have that much more of an aura about them. in fact holding any old coin has a magic all of its own, not least, the thought of who was the last person to own and hold the coin before it was found once again.
