<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 325069, member: 6370&quot;]no problem and good luck...one of my favorite subjects is German and Austrian coins...they were truly great craftsmen when it came to medals and coinage...IMO, they brought the craft to a new level. Not to mention they were very big into minting coins and casting medals more than many societies. If someone stubbed their toe in&nbsp; Kitzingen, someone would design a medal to commemorate the event. I cant tell you how many times I have looked through auction catalogs and books with German medals and coins and just simply marveled at the craftsmanship and talent and attention to every little detail that went into them...they just dont make coins like those anymore...and its just my opinion that america has never achieved such fine craftsmanship in coins and medals. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also agree that books are very pricing often times, I think I would rather spend the money on a coin. I bought a few basic ones like the full Krause series and a few books about notgeld, unusual world coins, german coins, and medals but always very cheap used copies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
