Antiques & Collecting

In today's economy, coins from around the world (especially those of North America and Europe) are increasing in both accessibility and value. With accessibility comes collector interest and a need for information. Drawing from the bible of the numismatic field, "The 'Standard Catalog' of World Coins, 'Warman's' World Coins Field Guide" provides a helpful, comprehensive and easy-to-follow format to the exciting and lucrative hobby of collecting world coins. Additionally, this field guide is the most complete and portable price guide of its kind, covering coins belonging to over 2/3 of the world's countries from 1901-2000. It gives historical background information on coins; counterfeit alerts, and thousands of listings and prices. The value and identification charts are easy to use, a breeze to read and a tremendous resource.
