“I consider that you have individually tackled a task that
most collectors of Irish coins have avoided or been unable
to tackle. And the key to this was your identifying that
many of these coins were languishing unidentified as
English coins, and this combined with the development of
the internet coin market ... has meant that you have been
able to assemble a lot of examples and have been able to
start identifying them by the portraits and styles so that
pieces with virtually no legends can now be properly
identified as Irish.”
- John Stafford-Langan
"[The author is] to be congratulated for [his] in-depth and scholarly study
and especially for [his] 'courage' in tackling what I consider is probably
the most difficult and complex group of coins in the Irish series... I
believe [the] book will give many collectors the confidence to try and
identify these coins themselves, recognising distinguishing features and
adding to their collections coins that they might not have previously
acquired due to a lack of confidence and detailed understanding of this
series... an excellent book which makes an outstanding and important
contribution to the study of Irish numismatics."
- Edward Colgan, author of "For Want of Good Money: The Story of Ireland's
Coinage"
