Hookmoor Ancient Coins - Website goes live!

I am pleased to announce that our new website, Hookmoor Ancient Coins, is now up and running. As well as resources on the London Mint of Constantine and Romano-British numismatics generally, it will incorporate the Lee Toone Ancient Coins website, offering a range of coins and numismatic books. The first sales lists will be available early in the New Year. In the meantime, please take a look and explore the Resources pages.

Some earlier posts from this blog will be transferred over in due course, but in the forseeable future this website will be maintained as an archive.

To view the new website click on the logo above or here.

Book Sale at York Coin Fair

I am having a New Year clear out to free up some much needed space. This Friday at the York Coin Fair, all books will be half price. That's right - 50% off all stock for one day only. Look forward to seeing you there!

Registration forms for MONETA BRITANNIA 2011 will also be available at stand 28 on the mezzanine level.

After the summer break we will be attending the following coin fairs with a selection of antiquarian and used numismatic books and ancient coins. We will not be at the August Wakefield fair, though.

York Coin Show

We will be at the York Coin Show this coming weekend, 16th and 17th July. We do not usually bring coins to this fair, just numismatic books. We try to bring a varied selection but do not have enough space to bring all of our stock, so if there is anything specific you require or would just like to have a look at, please email us in advance.

We can be reached here lee @ leetoone . co . uk - just remember to remove the spaces if you cut and paste the address.

My Directory of Numismatic Websites

I have been trying for years to keep up to date my website favourites. I first tried doing this using favourites and bookmarks in web browsers. These soon became unmanageable, so I tried to provide a comprehensive links page on my website. Again this soon became unmanageable. I have now been using "delicious" for a couple of years and it seems to be reasonably robust:

http://del.icio.us/leetoone

Have a look here and let me know what you think. I can index sites and it makes it easier to find things. I can add sites that people recommend and I had thought that I might be able to rebadge it as del.icio.us/ancientcoinsites or something like that if it works.

Happy to receive any comments or suggestions.
