User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Standard Catalog of World Coins….
Nice Catalog. Needs more updating on Guatemalan coins. Some mistakes regarding the diagram or design. Example: lines very close or out of definition.

5 Stars Very good catalog and paper quality
very good catalog, can know all the detail about all the coins arround the worlds, very good quality of papers

5 Stars Modern Foreign Coins, A Must Have For Collectors
If you collect Modern Foreign this book is a MUST HAVE, I have looked up 100 or more coins and have yet not to locate the coin I am looking for. It is comprehensive, has good pictures most of the Obverse and Reverse some just of the Obverse.

I highly recommend this book, its great.

4 Stars The Decision is Yours
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.
