Robert Van Arsdell, Celtic Coinage of Britain now on line

Van Arsdell (VA) 216-1 Atrebatic Abstract Type gold stater

For many years, Robert Van Arsdell's Celtic Coinage of Britain, Spink, 1989, has been a difficult book to obtain and used copies were sold for many times the original price. Now, he has built a revised, on line version:

Although there is still more work to be done, and more recently discovered types to be added, all of the 1989 listings are there (with revisions where applicable).

Congratulations, Bob, for this excellent work!
