<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2625063, member: 17665"]I can really only speak for myself and of course, my budget. It does everything I need it to do, identifying, a baseline for values, some history, mintages, compositions, weights, sizes, etc. I suppose if I found something that really grabbed my attention historically I might invest in a book that specialized, but my library is sufficient right now and at my age I really do not want to expand much more on what I already collect. You might check a larger library to see if they have any editions just to give you an idea of the scope of the book(s). There are five total based on time periods. They are quite massive each and cover a lot of ground but are not all inclusive. For instance, Germany and all of the private state issues of which there are thousands are not included. That would require a whole volume of it's own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
