Help needed sourcing a copy of this publication...

English Pattern Trial and Proof Coins in Gold 1547-1968 (Hardcover) 

by Alexander Gray Wilson (Author), Mark Christian Searles Rasmussen (Author)

@1817Karl- this challenge was a little too easy I think?

Here’s a second hand copy- on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/0953775402/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=used

I’m guessing you would like to source it for less than £50.

You shouldn’t underestimate the persistence of a Yorkshire man in a quest to save money... of course £50 is too much. I was thinking more PDF or £25! Or getting really creative. 

[1817Karl]

I might ask @Numistacker who I’m sure will have a copy to read it cover to cover, record it and post it as a video... for free of course @richatthecroft that’s kind of creative I was thinking.

Do you have a max timescale?  I'm heading to Budapest and Vienna and have someone coming from Greece, but that's all at the start of November - if you can wait until mid-November, I can look around then and ask the Greek to look now.

[1817Karl]

Wow, now that’s creative... I’m in no hurry, thanks for the effort!

I’m pretty sure mine was over £100

[richatthecroft]

£50 sounds like a good deal then Karl

Yes but that’s no fun... outside the box stretches the grey matter!

True- I’m sure there’ll be a copy lying around somewhere unread and unloved. Or a pdf to be found on a BitTorrent somewhere?

Outside of the box thinking....

You can borrow it for free!  But you'll need a Canadian to take delivery, then pass it on. Or fly there yourself... cheap!

You’re not gonna believe this. I went downstairs, banged my head on the stairs (clearly concust) and lost 10 minutes of my life. Came round and noticed an Amazon order confirmation in my inbox... and £52.80 left my current account! 
 

oh well I guess I have a copy now...

[richatthecroft]

Ha! It’ll likely be worth the cash in the long run.  And unlike all of the Psychiatry textbooks I own- it’s contents will never become outdated. Enjoy.

Being a fellow Yorkshireman you’ll just want to borrow it!
