Maybe some of you folks could post your favorite dealers for world coins? Plus, Krause guide quest

I'm sure that would be useful information for a number of people, myself included!



Thanks

Is this the Krause guide I hear so much about?



link















So, they do it by century? Are there Krause guides for other centuries?

There isn't one book that covers...well, the whole world for all of history? I guess that might be a tall order








PS: The Amazon page says this edition hasn't been released yet? Have the coins of the nineteenth century changed since the last edition?

That's it. Prices change occasionally as demand rises and falls (if it changes at all) over time.
The '96 edition was the last where the 19th and 20th centuries were combined. It was getting a bit heavy to carry around, and they could make more money from selling separate volumes, so now there's a distinct volume for the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th (& 21st) centuries. There are other volumes specializing in particular countries like Great Britain and Germany that cover the whole timespan in them.

The Krauses are:

1601-1700

1701-1800

1801-1900

1901 - Present

They contain all, or at least most, countries in each edition. The catalogues are NOT light.

Even all these books, can't accomplish that!

I have well over 200 coin books and all of them put together still don't cover everything!

I just recieved my World coins-2005 and was I disappointed, the coins I wanted to verify are not listed, but are on sale on the bayofe. So much for the $35.00+ that I spent. I believe I will write Krause Pub. a nasty letter

Hey, we don't want to hear about your personal problems!

One of my favorites is Jim Hanna from Wilsonville, OR. He puts out 4 or 5 price lists a year, but no website. I've gotten some of my best coins from him. Hopefully, I'll have a few new ones to post in a week or so.

For coins before 1600 there are Sayleses, Davenports, Saurmas, Griersons and many others. Somebody a while ago posted this link and this second link. Also, if you look at professionally produced price lists (e.g. Karl Stephens) the dealers indicate what references they use to identify their coins.

My suggestion is to focus on german states and forget everything else

No need to do anything crazy like that.

Frank S. Robinson sells some really nice coins at very good prices. His grading is
very conservative.

My Favorite dealers:

Sentry Box (Virgina Beach VA does coin shows on east coast)

Steve Damron ( from Georgia does east coast major shows)

Glenn Shinke (sp) (From Califonrina does major shows)

"not light" - that's an understatement!!!
