Editorial Reviews

Review

This book covers all Spanish and Spanish colonial issues, plus Republican issues to present from former Spanish colonies (in addition to the Portuguese material), including counterstamps, hence a great boon to readers of my catalogs, with listings of every date in every denomination and values for up to 7 grades, and of course many photos. --Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC

5.0 out of 5 stars No Philippine coins, May 25, 2005

By	Dr. Benjamin J. Garcia-Azcue V "Bengo" (Balayan, Batangas, Philippines) - See all my reviews

Contrary to what is stated in the editorial review, this catalog does not include Philippine coins during the spanish colonial period. In fairness to the authors it is stated in the foreword that this catalog deals with Ibero-American coinage. Aside from that omission, this book is worth buying in the sense that if all you collect is Spanish/Portugese Colonial Coins you won't have to buy the Other Standard Catalogs that are divided into centuries as this catalog spans the entire timeline.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reference of Spanish-Colonial Coin Collectors, October 4, 2009

By	A. Hearn (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

If you are interested in Spanish-Colonial coins and cobs, this book is essential. The book was published in 2002, which means prices are not current. However, it's the detailed descriptions, photos, and history of the coins that makes it so valuable. Even Krauses most recent coin books don't have current prices. And unlike Krauses other guides, this one covers all dates for all coins, up until approximately the date each country gained it's independence from Spain.

By	Kat's Back "Back to reading again" (California) - See all my reviews

As a new coin collector I have found this reference book as one you can't do without.
