A ONE OF A KIND XVI CENTURY TO PRESENT WORLD GOLD COINS ENCYCLOPEDIA ~ EVERY NUMISMATIST SHOULD HAVE,
By british mysteries "The Numismatist" (Pacific Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Gold Coins (Hardcover)
5 STARS -- If you are familiar with Chester L. Krause publications Standard Catalogue Of World Coins Series, those books share its style and contents with the Encyclopedia of World Gold Coins, the same format and and easy to use information on every minted gold, platinum, and palladium coin. coins, actual size photos are in B&W but is missing complete important sections like whole countries as in Netherlands, and segments as in Australian Sovereigns, 1500's???. You can find missing information within the 4 now 5 volumes of Standard Catalog Of World Coins 1600-2005.
This volume is easy to use contains a wealth of information and excellent organization seldom found in other books. ***** 5 STARS for content and easy of use. it has some shortcomings but is an invaluable resource. See the following for further Numismatic information: Coins of England and the United Kingdom 2008 Guide Book of Us Coins Redbook (Guide Book of United States Coins) (Guide Book of United States Coins) Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins: 1795 - 1933, Circulating, Proof, Commemorative, and Pattern Issues How the experts buy and sell gold bullion, gold stocks, & gold coins Us Gold Counterfeit Detection Guide (Official Whitman Guidebook)

Standard Catalog Of World Gold Coins 5th Ed,
By
This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Gold Coins (Hardcover)
The present 5th Edition mainly repeats the previous 4th Ed.
Despite it claims the catalog contains almost no coins of 1500s. The whole country of Netherlands left out of the catalog.
