<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 22269, member: 57463"]The answer is, "No." The best suggestion is to start with the American Numismatic Association website at <a href="http://www.money.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.money.org" rel="nofollow">www.money.org</a> and goto the Dealer Directory. There, you can find dealers who specialize in foreign coins and click on those that have websites. There, you will find prices that can help you determine values.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that, if you need a full range of prices for foreign coins because you are an active collector, then you should by the Krause <i>Standard Catalog of World Coins</i>. One option for that is to visit used bookstores, especially in large cities and college towns. Library sales (FOLA = Friends of the Library Association; they run the sales) are a great place to find books in general and I have found old SCWC catalogs there for $1 or $2. The advantage to the older catalogs is that they give information for more years, from the 1600s to 1980 or so. Most generally collectible and interesting coins are in that range, anyway. If you find a coin from 1945, you can identify it with older book as well as you can from a brand new one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
