The KM catalogs are the Standard Catalog of World coins. They have them by century going back to the 17th century. Basically this is where you...
Good luck with that. I think I have purchased one book over all of these years that way. Best sources really are Ebay, abebooks, amazon, (don't...
Sorry, book guys would know them. Quarterman was a publisher, and when he died his son sold off old stock cheap. ANS is the American Numismatic...
Doug and I are book guys, but I love this post. Want specifics? I bought the WB book on SL halves when it came out. The next month I was at a...
