Hi,

My Dad was given a book a couple of years ago which we want to try and value. It is called 'Enamelled Impressions Struck Off from the Splendid Series of Medal Dies: Illustrative of the Holy Scriptures. Vol 1', by Edward Thomason. It is from 1835 we think. The cover isn't in great condition, and I think it is more valuable in a pair with Vol 2.

Is there anybody on here who may know where would be best to sell it? Would it be a good idea to stick it on ebay or not?

Thanks,

Swampdonkeygj

Hi mate, I did try emailing one book shop and they sent me a link to an auction where the same book sold for £930, but i think it must have been in better condition. I'm pretty sure this one won't fetch that much, but hopefully it will still be worth a bit.
