They didn't fix the apparently exceedingly low prices for most of my favorite
countries like Ireland, India, France, Great Britain, Japan, and some of the
Scandinavian countries but they have made an attempt to fix a few of the
errors and to update many countries.
I'm looking primarily at the base metal circulating coinage made after WW II.
Many of these are quite scarce and have just been waiting for demand to
drive prices sharply higher. I did spot check some of the older coins and they
have experienced fewer changes and even a few decreases. Generally there
are quite a few price changes and most of them are higher.
The moderns adjusted upward are mostly E Germany, Kuwait, Malaysia, and
Spain. There are huge increases in all the Danish coinage and increases in
Romania so high that they might be in error. There have been many instances
of very sharply higher prices in moderns but these are not only staggering
but unexpected.
I would recommend this issue for those waiting for base metal coinage. It's
of some value to more traditional collectors as well. I'll be taking a little clos-
er look at the older coinage in the days ahead.

lot of scattered increases Mexico and Belgium. I don't know how I missed the
widespread and dramatic increases in Poland. I forgot to mention there are in-
creases in Morocco as well.
I've had time to check some of the older prices and these are not as changed.
There are some nice increases in some of the more popular countries like the
Philippines.
I believe a lot of collectors will be able to justify adding this edition.

Not in the circulating coinage pricing.
a lot of changes in mint and proof set pricing. None of these changes are huge
and usually are about four fold or less but they are very extensive affecting
many countries including siome that weren't updated otherwise.
I'm in general agreement with most of the changes at least to the degree they
affect the right sets. Better sets are more likely to have been increased than
worse sets. Whether all these increases are justified I'm not as sure. THere's
no reason to believe they aren't but after so many decades of stagnant pricing
they are surprising.
The Indian proof sets especially seem to be justifiued in sharply higher prices.
At least these are lowe mintage and highly desirable with huge potential demand.
One of my favorite sets Jordan 1949-64 6pc mint set went from $10 to $2850 !!
Unfortunately it's no doubt a misprint.

You should call and have a discussion with their pricing editor, sorry I forgot his name but I spoke to him once and he seemed open to making changes if the prices can be proven and show some consistency. Actually he said they frequently change prices on numismaster thruout the year. Give him a call.

I got a chance to look at mint and proof set pricing and some of these are up; some substantially.
