It was during this time that I wrote my first book\u00a0ROMAN COINS AND THEIR VALUES<\/a>. H.A. Seaby’s 1954 Roman catalogue was out of print and seriously in need of revision, so I took it upon myself to undertake the task in my spare time. The book was published by Seaby in 1964 and received immediate recognition as an invaluable aid to the beginner in the hobby of Roman coin collecting. In the same year it was awarded the Lhotka Memorial Prize by the Royal Numismatic Society in London. It has since been through four revised editions and I am currently preparing an entirely new ‘Millennium Edition’ which will be published in six volumes, the first three of which are already available.<\/p>\n

In 1973 I decided to give up residence and employment in London and to move to the country to concentrate on producing more books. My wife Margaret, our two sons Dexter and Adrian, and I went to live in a small village just outside the county town of Norwich, and there I wrote several new books for Seaby in collaboration with Frank Purvey, who undertook all the coin photography. The first to appear in this series was\u00a0BYZANTINE COINS AND THEIR VALUES<\/a>\u00a0(1974) followed four years later by the first volume of\u00a0GREEK COINS AND THEIR VALUES<\/a>, covering mints in Europe. The\u00a0second volume<\/a>\u00a0(Asia and Africa) followed in 1979, the year which saw us move to another East Anglian village, just outside the historic market town of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk. Here I wrote another new book,\u00a0GREEK IMPERIAL COINS AND THEIR VALUES<\/a>, devoted to the local provincial coinages of the Roman Empire. Published just after our move to Los Angeles in 1982, this work also received an award – this time the Book Prize of the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
