Just what I have always wanted! Every coin that I could not find the origin of was found in a matter of minutes. Details, pictures, values, and more. I do not own a coin book that has this much information and I have a lot of them. I can not wait for the next edition to come out.

The way this book is layed out is fantastic from the quick reference guide to the photos of every coin listed so there can be no mix up or chance that you might not have the correct coin. One of the best books on modern world coins I have found to date. If you have any interest at all in world coins this is a book you should have in your book case.

COLLECTING WORLD COINS provides detailed listings of over a century of circulating coins, from early global issues to identifier guides focusing on dominant design characteristics. Dates, weights, and current market issues pack a weighty guide that includes a bonus DVD for easy pricing on the road. A top pick for any serious coin collector.

I had several hundred foreign coins and found everyone of them in the World Coinn Book. It saved me a lot of time and I learned a lot about foreign coins. If you are collecting or thinking of starting to collect any foreign coin, this book is a must have.

I enjoy coin collecting and this book keep up with the latest issues. The price was the best I had seen for this item.

hi there,
this book is quite useful as it shows the estimate values of all old coins,
it shows the value of each old coins from good condition to not so good condition ones.
A simple cataloge book about grading and values of world coins.
Cheers.

I bought it as a gift for my father, he is a big fan of coins with a huge collection, he liked it very much and he said that he was looking for such a book from a long time ago.

Great reference (13th edition, 2011) for those interested in circulating world coins, 1901 - present! With countless photos, prices by conditions for each date and mint mark, and mintage figures where available, this is a must have reference for those interested in coins minted for circulation. Only drawback to the 13th edition, is that it did not come with a DVD like the 12th edition did. The DVD allows the user to view the entire content of the 12th edition in PDF format, which is great as opposed to having to lug the metropolitan like phone book sized book to coin shows, coin stores, etc. Still hoping that the publisher makes an electronic version of this superb reference available soon!

I bought my first world coin book back in 2000. It did not have a wide variety of countries. This book on the other hand has every country of every world coin that I have. It includes good quality pictures and coin prices based on quality of the coin in question. Also, in the front of the book are pictures of common coins with quick references to the coin's county if it is uncertain of where a particular coin is from and the language is unfamiliar. Awesome tool for any coin collector to have.

I love this book. It has tons of information on world coins. You can find out what country a coin is from, what it was made out of, etc. Great reference book.
