<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 3297553, member: 74712&quot;]I am not aware of a comprehensive book on German Coins in English.&nbsp; John F. Lhotka wrote a short introduction on Bracteates in the 80s (which I am about to start reading...), and R. Svensson also wrote on Bracteates in 2012 (<i><font size="4">Renovatio Monetae - Bracteates and Coinage Policies in Medieval Europe</font></i><font size="4">).&nbsp; Neither of these will be comprehensive catalogues.&nbsp; The MEC series has volume I on Western Germany in preparation, but when it is actually published (or when the other two volumes would even begin) is anyone’s guess.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">There is an online collection that is pretty comprehensive, even if the pictures aren’t great.&nbsp; That is <a href="http://herbison.com/someoldcoins.org/saur/intro.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://herbison.com/someoldcoins.org/saur/intro.htm" rel="nofollow">Die Saurmasche Münzsammlung</a>.&nbsp; Unfortunatly it is just a catalogue with no explanation.&nbsp; Another option, which is not quite as comprehensive, is the Kunker catalogue for the de Witt sale.&nbsp; There are four in total, and the second catalogue covers his German collection.&nbsp; De Witt did a nice write up for most of the areas that issued coins, and spent more time on certain coins or types that have interesting stories or elements to them.&nbsp; All four catalogues can be found on the ISSU app, and the first three can be found online with a bit of searching (if you can’t find it let me know and I’ll find a way to send you the file).</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Anyway, this is what I use for my small number of German Coins.&nbsp; There may be other things out there that I am unaware of.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
