Burks Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Anyone have experience with this book? Right now I don't want to spend $40 on a world coin book but would like something cheap for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Have you looked into used versions of the Krause. I think they tend to be quite affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Have you looked into used versions of the Krause. I think they tend to be quite affordable. Having trouble finding some that aren't from the 80's and 90's. An '00-'04 would be just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Have you tried www.half.com ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I've looked at blackbook, and it's basically slightly better than nothing (in other words, not very useful/inaccurate info. Could get better info on internet for free.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Have you tried www.half.com ? No I didn't try half.com. Never heard of it until now. Thanks for the info ccg. I found a few cheap Krause's off half.com that I'll be ordering soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 In addition to half.com try http://www.bookfinder.com also. It searches Alibris and other's and has been a great way for me to locate used titles from the common to the rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Have you looked into used versions of the Krause. I think they tend to be quite affordable. Instead of buying one I went to the library and rented it for a month.......free. They have the 31-33 editions. Sadly I did not find one for 19th century coins :*( I'll just take it back and rent it the next day again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Ah yes libraries. Definitely one of the better uses of tax dollars. Although they generally need to stock more numismatic titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Ah yes libraries. Definitely one of the better uses of tax dollars. Although they generally need to stock more numismatic titles If nothing else, our library system here as a great collection of Krause catalogues.

Burks Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Although they generally need to stock more numismatic titles I understand that one. The selection of books was 3 Redbooks, 1 Bluebook, 3 Krause, and one book on coin investing. Tomorrow I'm stopping by the have them search the other three libraries in town for a 19th century Krause catalog. While looking for the Krause another man came through and picked out the '06 Redbook and '05 Bluebook. I make the remark that the '06 Redbook is a fantastic book and he should enjoy it. Come to find out this man actually deals in coins! He was surprised by my age that I was closely looking at the books to make my decision. Sadly he had sold a large lot of 200+ pre-1940 German coins for dirt cheap just a week ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing, at least here, is that all the libraries are part of a interlibrary loan system http://www.mnlink.org which includes the State Universisty system and the U of M. I just made a request last week so I'll find out how long it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 My library requests came today. Cleaning and preservation of coins and medals by Walter Gerhard and An Introduction to Repairing & Restoring. I have most of my chem supplies so I can go to phase III of my cleaning experiments. It's amazing how varied some relatively basic chemistry can turn out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 This sucks. My college library has the books I want but they are for library use only. But the Standard Catalog of Paper Money is available to check-out.....hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
