Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - missing information
for a 2006 edition this catalog is missing many many coins from previous years that one would expect to find. there are even missing items from before 2000! not very good for an edition that soppose to be 2006. in other cases, complete countries are missing like the new set from cocos islands with the 2004 set.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 2006 world of coins
Great book for small amount of money...
I didn't expected that size of book, first I thought that this book is like a manual (200 pages max.) but when I received package and when I took the book out from the package I was astonished...
Inside you can find a lot of stuff, all kind of coins in natural sizes. Only thing that is not so good (in my opinion) is thickness of the paper.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I use KM numbers to help organize the collection
I need a guide so I just do not blindly pay big bucks for cute pictures. There are a lot of good guides and some more specific on particular eras and locations such as Westphalia. But as you do a coin search you are bound to run across something you are not familiar with and need a guide. This guide is a great place to start; it is easy to navigate and gives cursory information on particular locations and times surrounding the coin's production.

Keeping in mind that this is just a guide, there are holes and the coins are not displayed in color. On the other hand the coins shown are in actual size; size is hard to translate form internet pictures.

With all the electronic references today it is nice to have something tactile, static and transportable. This book meet al those needs.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Krause sets the standard for world coin catalogs
This 1500+ page work is not only comprehensive but interesting to those who collect world coins, either professionally or as a hobby. It includes wonderful descriptions of coins from nations around the world, currently in existence or not, and shows photos of the coins that make determining exactly which denomination and type of coin you are examining. Furthermore, its appendices include bullion values, terminology, and a wealth of other information about both the enterprise of collecting world coins and the specific coins one might come across. Highly Recommended!
