This review is from: "Standard Catalog of" World Coins, 19th Century 1801-1900 (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1801-1900) (Paperback)
I need a guide so I just do not blindly pay big bucks for cute pictures. There are a lot of good guides and some more specific on particular eras and locations such as Westphalia. But as you do a coin search you are bound to run across something you are not familiar with and need a guide. This guide is a great place to start; it is easy to navigate and gives cursory information on particular locations and times surrounding the coin's production.Keeping in mind that this is just a guide, there are holes and the coins are not displayed in color. On the other hand the coins shown are in actual size; size is hard to translate form internet pictures. With all the electronic references today it is nice to have something tactile, static and transportable. This book meet al those needs.

This review is from: "Standard Catalog Of" World Coins 1801-1900 (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1801-1900) (Paperback)
This is a book that every collector whose interests exceed his backyard and go beyond his birthdate must have at home. There is no better help to start expanding your collection beyond 1901.There is no better does not mean that there cannot be a better one. Some remarks must be taken into consideration - this is an American catalog so prices in your country (if you're not American that is) are most certainly different and there is no point to waste your time to prove Krause wrong. E.g. prices of German states' coins in Germany are 50 to 100% higher than in Krause. They are which means that if you are looking for them you move to eBay and look for them elsewhere but not in Germany. Foreign dealers treat Krause prices of foreign coins seriously. - this is an American catalog which has a soft spot for American coins. Most foreign readers will be mildly amused by eighteen pages of remarkably uninspired designs of the US patterns (fortunately most of them are not shown) or twelve pages of "territorial gold". - this is an American catalog so you may find some of coins from your country missing completely or missing a picture. If you can accept all this, you will be happy with your purchase. If you can't, you should think if you won't be much happier with a more specific coin catalog but be sure that no other can give the kind of general view you find in this one.

If you collect 19th century coins - it is the best choice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Coins 1801-1900 (2nd ed) (Paperback)
Krause's catalogues are absolutely incomparable with any others and the 19th century edition is by no means worse. The book is an absolute must to anyone who collects coins of the period, and even if your interest is not defintively settled you should get the book because it (strange as it may seem) is a real page-turner. The amount of information about coin-issuing countries (most of which no longer exist - just think about those tiny German or Italian principalities!) is simply stunning. If you are a dealer in coins you just cannot live without it. You can find here information about any 19th century coin you may think of - from the most common circulation strikes to the rarest patterns. This is one of my favourite books - whenever I try to browse through it I always find some piece of information I did not previously know.
