My friend I have to know what you think of this new book out byKrause publications. I know you said that you like? the practical book of cobs by sedwick, byt have you seen Spain, Portugal and the new World? I think it might be a good book for a beginner like me.

Dennis,

I think I answered your question with a seperate post which I copied and inserted below...if you would like me to locate Numismatica Espanola 8th edition by Calico, Trigo. 1984 for you...I will do my best and if time is not of a concern, I am sure I will come by a copy or two.


The practical book of cobs, by Daniel and Frank Sedwick (Excellant book - must have for cob collecting).

The other SP&NW is a very good book for cob values (photos are plain)...etc...

I much prefer Numismatica Espanola 8th edition by Calico, Trigo. 1984.
The bible so to speak of cobs.....it is written in Spanish but it is the photos of cobs that will be extremely helpful in your cob identification and various mints.
Grubby, this is for you (included is the ID's of many Maravedis).

I still think you can obtain these books from Daniel Sedwicks web-site.

He and his father wrote your first book.....
He also provided some very good info on your second book....Spain, Portugal and the New World.


Good luck,

Trez

Thanks
