| KRAUSE - MISHLER CATALOGS | ||
| Krause-Mishler (Bruce, Colin, Ed.) | Standard Catalog of World Coins (SCWC) 20th Century / Main Edition Indeed standard among collectors, these massive by-century volumes list by date virtually every coin type, most photographed, with mintage and other specs, priced in 4-5 grades. Listings are by denomination rather than series, as in earlier world coin catalogs. As with any reference giving values, do not assume these to be the final word on market prices. The KM (or K) numbers are widely used; for some countries specialized or earlier systems such as Y (Yeoman) and C (Craig) are given. The century format is inconvenient and expensive for many who collect geographically, and date listings are clipped at the century mark. Originally covering 1800-date, the main catalog evolved into an annual 20th century-only work, plus separate 17th - 19th C. volumes issued less frequently. Beginning with the 34th (2007) ed, listings after 2000 are dropped, and a 21st Century catalog covers 2001-date. Data from the Century volumes are collated together in special editions for Crowns, Gold, German, and North American coins. Fantasies and medallic issues, which do not appear in the other catalogs, are covered in Unusual World Coins. Starting with 2002 editions, the catalog numbers and other specs previously shown in bold or larger text were buried in small type to save space and include additional information such as descriptions of main design elements, and designer names. Readability has gradually improved, but pre-2002 editions are still clearer in some ways. Notable editions: 12th (1986) &19th (1992) 2-vol hc 1700-date; 13th (1987) Last ed. to carry cross-references to Yeoman/Craig; 23rd (1996) Last main ed. covering 1800-date; 33rd (2006) Last 20th C. ed. including 21st C. listings; 34th (2007). These books are often available in libraries. The 20th C. volume lists at $55; earlier centuries at $65-70, but can be found at 20% or more off. Older editions can be a good buy, as they are steeply discounted even though revisions in many areas are minimal. Pirated DVD versions are sold on eBay, and an official DVD version of the 19th, 20th, and 21st C. eds. was introduced 8/07. Pronunciation is krou (as in plow)-zee. | NOT IN STOCK |
| Krause & Mishler (Bruce, Colin, Ed.) | SCWC 2001-Date 2nd ed. (2007 = current) The most comprehensive catalog of world coinage, with widely-used "KM" numbers.

| Krause & Mishler (Bruce, Colin, Ed.) | SCWC 18th Century (1701-1800) 3rd ed. (2002=current) The most comprehensive catalog of world coinage, with widely-used "KM" numbers.

| Krause & Mishler (Bruce, Colin, Ed.) | SCWC 17th Century (1601 - 1700) 3rd ed. (2003=current) The most comprehensive catalog of world coinage, with widely-used "KM" numbers. Listing format, while not as clear as in the 2nd ed., is still usable. List $65. | NOT IN STOCK |

| Bruce, Colin | Unusual World Coins All the oddball stuff (fantasies, patterns, coinlike medals, bullion items, Euro fantasies, etc.) that doesn't quite fit in the regular SCWC (Krause-Mishler) catalogs. These numismatic orphans range from official mint products and fund raisers for separatist movements, to coinlike tokens and medals, to scurrilous coin look-alikes designed to bilk tourists and hobbyists. The too-brief background comments on many of these issues will leave you wondering who produced them, why, and how they were distributed. No matter what modern series you collect, you will find something here that you might want, or want to avoid.

The sixth edition (1992) was a major revision, adding Ancients, values in 2 grades, integrating new issues, including platinum/palladium; India & several European countries "completely revised," enhanced photos and new catalog numbers.

| Hewitt Bros. | Premium Catalog of Modern Foreign Coins Gives buy prices by country, denomination, sometimes type. Offers .45 to $1 for Chinese Dollars, but $1.50 for birds over junk! Designed to be given out by shop dealers who would then resell cheaply-bought foreign to Hewitt. An interesting piece of nostalgia. 48p, 5x8, sc, 1948 | 5.00 |
| Hudgeons, Marc, et. al. | Official Blackbook Price Guide to World Coins A peculiar work which catalogs a handfull of coins each, mostly post-1940's, from just 47 countries, with no cat. nos. or cross-references, but buy or sell (sometimes both) prices in one grade. Prices are often odd amounts such as .23, 1.57 or 18,100 . Buy and sell prices often bear no relation to each other. Introductory sections are mainly commercials for the contributors, but with some good advice for inexperienced collectors. Lists foreign mints, IAPN & PNG members.

For the first time, KM catalog numbers are cross referenced with the "Y". Prices in 3 grades provide a second opinion (I did some of the Tibet and Nepal).
