5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended - a great aid to collectors, 5 Dec 2001
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Kind of History Book, 19 Jan 2008
By Ford Ka (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Coins 1701-1800 (Standard Catalog of World Coins Eighteenth Century, 1701-1800) (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1701-1800) (Paperback)
My collection of 18th century coins is virtually non-existent and their value is so low that this catalog cost me much more than they are all worth. But I did not buy it to see how rich I am or how wisely I invested my money. I treat this book as a very special history book. I read it every now and then, starting from a state I have never heard of to discover some new information from the past. This is the imperfect but only source to dig into the history of minute Italian, German or Indian states which often had nothing but minting rights which they excercised profusely. About sovereigns who believed themselves mighty enough to have their profiles struck on multiple thalers only to disappear from annals of History within just a few years. About political plans, expectations and pretences of which we can't remember anymore but they were all detailed on coins.
Coin-collecting is not a way of investing money (it well may be though in most cases it is rather by luck than wise planning), it is a life-time of studies. You have to invest your time, and coins will start speaking to you. Half-worn faces will become flesh and blood individuals from the past. Strange letters will mean their might and their dreams. You will probably never have too many of these coins (even if you have the money, actually) but this is the kind of book which can give you knowledge. And knowledge, in time, may turn into wisdom.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reference suitable for serious collectors only, 18 Nov 2008
By P. Conlon (London, UK, Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Coins 1701-1800 (Standard Catalog of World Coins Eighteenth Century, 1701-1800) (Standard Catalog of World Coins: 1701-1800) (Paperback)
The `Standard Catalog...' series of books are comprehensive in their listing and presentation of world coins/paper money; I can see how these volumes are invaluable to collectors. I am not a collector however and purchased the volumes on paper money simply to admire the artistry put into their creation. I was greatly disappointed (given my purpose) as the paper is of telephone book quality and all coin/note images inside are small, black & white and grany (the only colour printing is on the cover). Even as a reference for collectors, the presentation quality could be much better. For a beautifully illustrated guide to world coinage, I would instead recommend `The World Encyclopedia of Coins and Coin Collecting' by James Mackay.

5.0 out of 5 stars As my collection slowly moves back in time
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... Read more
