Product Description
Product Description
From the smallest mining pfennings to the largest multiple ducats in gold, this single volume represents a definitive collection of 18th century world coins, based on more than 30 years of research by hundreds of numismatic experts. The listings for issues from China, the German states, and the Holy Roman empire, along with Transylvania, the Papal states, France, and Spain contain a wealth of information not found in other world numismatic references. Listings are presented in a new easy-to-use format with more descriptive information and the denomination appearing next to each Krause-Mishler number. Coin prices are now listed in up to five grades of condition. Collectors are assured of updated and highly accurate pricing as international numismatic experts have reviewed every value. This third edition features over 17,900 actual size obverse and reverse coin images.

As my collection slowly moves back in time,
By
This review is from: World Coins 1701-1800 (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1701-1800) (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.

Simply 18th century coins of the world for the world !,
By R. Moreton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: World Coins 1701-1800 (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1701-1800) (Paperback)
Certainly this is the book for 18th century coins, unless you are mainly interested in one country like the UK or France -- in that case you would find more information more attractively laid out, along with other centuries, elsewhere, usually more cheaply too. But for its coverage of the world, including hugely complicated countries like Gemany, Italy and India, it is unbeatable. This 3rd edition is an improvement over earlier editions, because more pictures (especially of the smaller coins) and more obscurities have been included.
For users in countries which do not speak English, the conversions such as VF = TTB = BB =MBC are very useful ! The book is not difficult for foreigners to use. 1 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

The best guide to world gold coins after year 1600,
By Clark Smith "Clark Smith" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: World Coins 1701-1800 (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1701-1800) (Paperback)
This is the best guide to world gold coins dated
after 1600. Before 1600, look for Friedberg's "Gold Coins of the World" which has gold ancient coins and gold coins up to year 1600. Clark Smith www.coinvault.com |
