[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 24780671, member: 82388"]You are correct, especially if a person has a specialty. I have a copy of the Krause catalogue for German coins because of my interest in German States coinage. Plus a couple specialty sites I visit for those coins as well. The big draw back with creating a page on Numista is it's not a quick thing usually, especially if the coin was minted for several years or with different mint marks. I myself have not made pages simply because it would take so long to enter say, 20 line items. For world coins and this is kind of cheating, I often look the coin up on ma-shops or VCoins. Many times in the descriptions they have reference numbers in them. Especially helpful for me when more esoteric pieces come up, ones lacking a Krause entry usually, but are found in Merseberger, Saurma, etc. But, if a person is a generalist, Numista gets the job done quite well I think.[/QUOTE]
