Highly recommended - a great aid to collectors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Coins: Eighteenth Century 1701-1800 (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1701-1800) (Paperback)
The Krause & Mishler catalogs of world coins provide a superb wealth of information for coin collectors and the catalog which provides listings for the period 1701 - 1800 is no exception. The 18th century was a period when coins circulated around the world during an era of European expansion and the book reads as a history lesson in how the globe was being explored at the time. The book tells of countries and regions whos names have passed into history, or who no longer issue coins or who tell of kingdoms and princely states.If you are a coin collector this is an essential piece of work. This reference book contains nearly 18,000 actual size photos of coins and an incredible amount of information on the coinage of every country issued during the 18th century. The coins issued are listed, the mintage for each year and a valuation of the coin according to its condition. If only I had a Guatemalan 8 Escudos coin from 1785 in extra fine condition (worth $25,000!) This is a magnificent database of information organised in a very easy to use format which means that it takes very little time to look up a particular coin. To have one book that contains pretty much every officially issued coin in the period is a great aid to collectors.

It is a catalog.,
By
This review is from: 2003 Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1901-present (Paperback)
This animal is good for pointing out many coins that may be missed in the smaller magazines and at trade shows. However it is a catalog, about the size of a phone book and with so few advertisers that they are negligible. There are no fancy color pictures just coins and lots of them divided into countries; so many coins that it can make your head spin if you are not searching for a particular theme. The shallow part of the book is the depth of time. When I write reviews I look for a stumper or two. Well this book passed. I looked up the “Wailbligen 100”. Sure as shoot'n there it was with an explanation and references to Porcelain coins.

Essential for the world coin collector,
By douglasa.hunter@orange.net (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Coins 2001 (Paperback)
As ever the Krause family of standard coin catalogues continue to be essential reading for any even slightly serious coin collector. Their content is quite unparralelled in its fullness, along with their sensible pricing guide. Well worth the investment.
