2.0 out of 5 stars Gold Coins of the World From Ancient Times to The Present, October 4, 2003
Fist of all for 75$ I would have expected the catalogue to be in color not only the cover and the back...
Secondly for Ancient coins such as Greek, Roman & Byzantine, It would have helped if an approximate weight for each coin was included...

2.0 out of 5 stars No color pictures, June 10, 2003
By Judy (San Leandro, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Fist I would say for 75.00 , I would expect color when it comes to showing gold coins in a hard bound edition. The only color is on the paper cover. The book lacks depth in the largest market for collectors, U.S.A. . Not impressive !

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy another book., March 6, 2006
By David P. Hill (Canoga Park, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is poorly constructed and lacks a lot of acient middle eastern gold coins. The lack of color also makes me feel that I over paid for this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gold Coins of the World.
An excellent reference book, notwithstanding that I collect gold coins it is a really excellent reference book for general use.
Published 7 months ago by FM Haggerty

3.0 out of 5 stars A must have book for world coin collectors
who specialize in gold coins minted prior to 1600. It would have been much better if the photos would have been in color. Read more
