jlueke Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Is there a specific catalog or catalogs that is comprehensive for covering German Notgeld, espeically coins? I have an affinity for Westfalen in general and wattenscheid in particular, German or English references would both do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drusus Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 What about this 10 volume set, is it comprehensive? Deutsches Notgeld Thats real comprehensive, Funck is used a lot as well when referencing: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3924...wwmuenzenfre-21 http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0873...wwmuenzenfre-21 ^^ is cheaper and references most notes but is more of a check list and general price range / rarity suggestion...it has a lot of pictures in color though.

jlueke Posted May 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Cool. Now do any or all of these have the early Notgeld when it was still in the form of coins, mostly aluminum? Then what about the war/post war tokens in iron and other metals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 All the ones I posted have coins though none have a complete listing I dont think...the one I have which is World Notgeld 1914-1947. And other Local Issue Emergency Monies doesnt have a complete listing...it has 13,000 entries from those dates...there are far more bills than coins of course.

jlueke Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 My problem is that I am really interested only in a small area within Westfahlen so any of these books feel like a bit of overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 If you are only interested in westfalen then I wouldnt bother with books, there are quite a few websites where you can probably find references to most of them. Athough this is a website that sells them...its invaluable as a resource as well listing types, catalog numbers and so on...go down the list looking at the state column and it will show many westphalia coinage. http://www.joelscoins.com/notgeld/notgeldger3.htm this is a nice website but in only shows examples of each type: http://www.jetons-monnaie.net/a/anecessite.html#allemagne site below has a lot of links to notgeld websites as well. http://webgerman.com/Notgeld/links.htm and just for the hell of it....here is one of my Westfalen coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 At a show last year there was a guy selling his collecton of those Westfahlen tokens. I guess since they were officially released by the state and not used as money real or "Not" they deserve a slightly different classification. Though they are quite beautiful. Is that a gold one? Thanks for the links, I'm focused on the area of Wattenscheid with maybe Bochum, Essen, Gelsenkirchen included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goetzdude Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 That is a cool set Thanks guys! Just snooping back on my post I realized that I had forgotten to include the 1919 50 Pf that belongs with the set. It has a slight design difference from the 1918 St. Rupert design. I'll try to get it imaged to include with the set. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
