Krause 2002 (1900 - 2001)

[Chris Perkins]

I've just upgraded, anyone want a Krause world coin price guide from 2002 (30th edition)? It covers all coins issued in the world from 1901 - 2001. It's £20 plus postage, which will be £10 to any European address.

Let me know, or it goes on ebay.

Which edition did you upgrade to? I've gone back to an older one after being disappointed once, but I'd really like a positive review from someone before upgrading again.

[Chris Perkins]

I've got the 2006 edition (33rd). So far I find it fine, but I haven't really used it all that much yet. What were the problems you had and I'll try to see if they apply to the 33rd?

[mint_mark]

Well, the problems were with the one you're selling... off the top of my head,

Finland had the recent 1 markka at the start of the republic (before the 1 pennias)

France had a missing C mintmark for KM902.2

France had missing dates after 1947 for KM888b.1

Italy had a value of $65 for KM188

Tunisia had something missing too.

That's all I remember... I did write notes in the catalogue itself, but I can't remember where they all are

Also, I don't suppose you got the new 19th century one did you? I'd like to hear how that looks too.

Finland seems ok now, Pennias before Markka.

France KM902.2 has a large C or a small c listed.

France KM888b.1 lists now include 1948-50 and 1952.

Italy KM188 is still $65 (what should it be?)

I've got the 3rd edition 1801-1900 edition, is that the latest?

I asked on the foreign coins section here and was told it was very common. That's when Kuhli said that this particular edition (30th) of Krause was rubbish because it was the first using a new system

There is a newer 19th century one listed but it never seems to be in stock at amazon or swotbooks. It came out earlier this year, so that's a good three years of price changes I think. I always go to amazon and search for "standard catalog or world coins", then sort by publication date, newest first.
