Saint Patrick Coinage by Syd Martin

Syd Martin's tour de force on the St. Patrick's coinage of Ireland, Saint Patrick Coinage [For Ireland and New Jersey].  Hard; xxii., 506 pp., w dust jacket.  C4 2018.

Includes large full page photos of all the known die varieties, for both the small farthings, and the large half pennies.

Syd Martin had access to all the major collections, and extensive relationships w the serious die collectors of the series, enabling him to finally assemble the dies in a useful work.

Rarity and grade census, are included, as are helpful hints in how to go about using the book.  For example, it is best to start out by identifying the reverse, then mating it w the possible obverses.  Indispensable, as every St. Patrick piece needs to be eventually identified.

$120.  postpaid within the States.
