My wantlist & references
Modern coins
- The Krause catalogues (all four - my 20th century book includes the 21st)
- Krause's "Unusual World Coins"
- two Charletons for Canadians (including an old 1977 edition that lists the tokens)
- Renniks Guide for Australian
- Maccas Pocketbook, also for Australian
- Spink for British
- Coin Yearbook 1982, for British
- Redbook for US coins
- Coins of the Swedish Possessions by Ahlstrom
- From Cowrie to Kina, by Mira (for Papua New Guinea items)
- World Crowns and Talers from 1484 by Davenport
- a very old and battered Yeoman's Modern World Coins - my childhood guide to the darkside
Mediaeval coins
- Coinage of Mediaeval Europe by Grierson
- Coins of the British World by Friedberg (it has moderns too, but I keep it for the references to Scottish, Irish and Anglo-Gallic)
- Gold Coins of the World by Friedburg (4th ed. - kept mainly for references to mediaeval and early modern gold)
Ancient Coins
- Sear catalogues of Greek (2), Roman (4), Greek Imperial (1) and Byzantine (1)
- Ancient Coin Collecting by Wayne G. Sayles, vols IV (Roman Provincial) and VI (Non-Classical Cultures)
- The Coinage of Caesarea in Cappadocia by Sydenham - my only "proper" primary reference work
- Classical Deception, also by Sayles - for the fakes
- Coinage in the Roman World by Burnett - excellent background economic info
- Metallurgy in Numismatics, Vol.I
- Monumental Coins by Tameanko
Chinese and other "Cash" Coins
- Chinese Cash by Jen
Islamic Coins
- Arabic Coins and How to Read Them, by Plant
- Marsden's Numismata Orientalia Illustrata, reprinted by Plant
- A Checklist of Islamic Coins, by Album
Paper Money
- The Pick banknote catalogues (all three, though from wildly different editions)
- Coffing's Checklist of World Notgeld
Tokens and Medals
- British Tokens by Seaby
- Australian Historical Medals by Carlisle
- several books, booklets and guides printed by local coin club members, covering misc. Australian items
General Numismatic References
- Encyclopedic Dictionary of Numismatics by Doty
- The Coin Atlas by Cribb and Carradice
There are several gaps in my bibliographic knowledge I'd still like to fill. Medieval Europe is only very broadly and generally covered in Grierson, and I have nothing except the Coin Atlas, Davenport's Thalers book and Friedburg's gold book, to cover the period between the end of Grierson and the beginning of the Krauses. The "core" ancient and far eastern civilizations are well enough represented, but for the "fringe cultures" like the Sassanian Empire, ancient India, and the non-Chinese cash coins (Japan, Korea and Annam) I have to resort to websites.
