<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 11638250, member: 10461&quot;]If there are a lot more World coins in your mother&#039;s stash, I would recommend picking up the multivolume <i><b>Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins</b></i>.&nbsp; In printed format, these are big thick paperback books, like the telephone book for a big city (remember those?)&nbsp; You can find them at most major bookstores that have a collectibles section.&nbsp; Each volume of the catalog covers a century of the world&#039;s coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>The printed catalogs can be a little pricey, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>A cheaper alternative is something <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/115337163159?chn=ps&amp;norover=1&amp;mkevt=1&amp;mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&amp;mkcid=2&amp;mkscid=101&amp;itemid=115337163159&amp;targetid=1529493982022&amp;device=c&amp;mktype=pla&amp;googleloc=21143&amp;poi=&amp;campaignid=18698571348&amp;mkgroupid=140091038582&amp;rlsatarget=pla-1529493982022&amp;abcId=9302514&amp;merchantid=6296724&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAv9ucBhBXEiwA6N8nYNoIHl8RRI4EGT4eMseLtfWJmP-FrwfJtcyPUB2tPjJDZgcf0_LMixoCM7EQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/115337163159?chn=ps&amp;norover=1&amp;mkevt=1&amp;mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&amp;mkcid=2&amp;mkscid=101&amp;itemid=115337163159&amp;targetid=1529493982022&amp;device=c&amp;mktype=pla&amp;googleloc=21143&amp;poi=&amp;campaignid=18698571348&amp;mkgroupid=140091038582&amp;rlsatarget=pla-1529493982022&amp;abcId=9302514&amp;merchantid=6296724&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAv9ucBhBXEiwA6N8nYNoIHl8RRI4EGT4eMseLtfWJmP-FrwfJtcyPUB2tPjJDZgcf0_LMixoCM7EQAvD_BwE" rel="nofollow">like this</a>.&nbsp; That&#039;s just one eBay listing I stumbled across.&nbsp; I have no connection to the seller and don&#039;t know if it&#039;s even the best deal out there (you can shop around).&nbsp; But it seems pretty reasonable.&nbsp; You get all five centuries worth of catalogs in digital PDF format for $9.99.&nbsp; They&#039;re not the latest editions, but close enough.&nbsp; (Again, shop around).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, you can get copies of the paper catalogs that are a couple of years old for much less than the new ones would cost.&nbsp; And the coin value pricing doesn&#039;t change that much from year to year, so a Krause catalog that&#039;s &lt;5 years old is still useful.&nbsp; The physical paper catalogs are nice because they have a lot of useful charts and stuff in the introductory sections, which you don&#039;t get in the online databases like NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you can get by just fine with the Google searching method I mentioned above, without spending a cent, merely by searching for listings on the Numista and NGC online databases.&nbsp; (I like Numista for overall information and NGC as a priceguide.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
