1.0 out of 5 stars A poor substitute for a "real" coin catalog, May 15, 2001
By Hrabanus Maurus (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
If you think you are getting a bargain when you buy this book for its low price, rather than spending the big bucks and buying the Krause publications, think again. There are only 48 countries listed. If you collect Austrian coins, you are out of luck. The irony of the situation is that the single most popular coin in the world, the Maria Theresa Thaler, is not even listed in this book.

If you are a beginner and you just want a rough guide to the coins these authors consider to be popular, you might like this book, but if you are a serious collector of world coinage, look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars A big dissapointment..., May 24, 1998
By A Customer
The book seems incomplete and inaccurate..Be *very* careful if you're evaluating coins with this book alone. In many *many* cases of world coins that have both common varieties and rare, valueble varieties, this book lists only the most common variety.
