Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: 2009 Standard Catalog Of World Coins 1901-2000 (Standard Catalog of World Coins) Comment: Excellent book. Best review of currant coins. In fact, it is the only in depth series I am aware of. Customer Rating: Summary: What a deal - 2 for the price of 1 - worth every penny! Comment: If you collect world coins, you need to purchase the Standard Catalog series from Krause Publications. The 20th Century book that I purchased came with a DVD. I kinda look at this as a "2 for 1" deal as the DVD has the same contents as the book. I noticed that the prices on some coins went up while others went down. With the DVD, I can look up countries almost as fast as the book (there will be some of you who will experience either fast finds or slow ones depending on your computer processing speed). Overall, I only hope that Krause will include DVD's in future editions. Customer Rating: Summary: Another Year, Another Trustworthy Volume Comment: This is a book a coin collector simply cannot live without. Over 2000 pages packed with information on coins. Obviously, there are better catalogues for specific periods or territories but none so comprehensive. At some point your collection will reach the level when other catalogues are necessary but when you decide to go beyond your local coinage there is no better start. If you really concentrate on some period or country, you will soon outgrow it. If you begin to broaden your numismatic horizons, this is your guide and you may need no other. This is a book like an old friend. You know his shortcomings (not all were corrected from previous editions), you know he is not really up-to-date (whatever he may claim), you know that he gets more and more forgetful every year, you know he can be terribly obstinate and stick to his mistakes for years. But you reach for him in need because, well, you haven't got a better friend.
