<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1162775, member: 25270"]I had the same problem and decided to get the 2007 edition used. I forget how much I paid, but it was a lot easier to swallow than the prices of the new ones. I wanted it mostly for a ballpark value and identification and info of the coins I had and the ones I need, and it does that adequately. As for buying the coins, I bought several lots on eBay when I was getting started and had mixed results. Some were really good, others had a lot of the same countries over and over. I wish I paid attention to who the good ones were. Unlike you, I considered the good ones the ones that gave me older coins and I was disappointed when all I got were coins from the 90s and 2000s. My local dealer has a discount bin where all the coins cost 25 cents, and they are mostly world coins. If you have a local coin shop, see if they have something like this. Most dealers and American collectors don't really want world coins so you can get them cheaply and often find some gems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
