<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 894618, member: 39&quot;]Not when it comes to English language books about German coinage. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The books I know or use won&#039;t really be useful in this particular case, but just for the record:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Schön catalogs, they are now written or compiled by Gerhard Schön, and a new edition of his 20-21c world catalog comes out every year. The current edition <a href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/weltmuenzkatalog-20-21-jahrhundert-1900-2009/buchdetail/171/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/weltmuenzkatalog-20-21-jahrhundert-1900-2009/buchdetail/171/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" rel="nofollow">(38th ed. 2010)</a> was issued in January.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gerhard Schön also does a catalog of Austrian/German/Swiss coins (mid-19c until today), a euro coin catalog, and probably some others. For German coins (today&#039;s Federal Republic, but also Deutsches Reich, DDR and &quot;related&quot; territories) there is the <a href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/die-deutschen-muenzen-seit-1871/buchdetail/172/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/die-deutschen-muenzen-seit-1871/buchdetail/172/1/themen/neuerscheinung.html" rel="nofollow">Jaeger catalog</a> from the same publishing house.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to look prices/values up, you can use the <a href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/index.php?seite=cfinder" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gietl-verlag.de/index.php?seite=cfinder" rel="nofollow">CoinFinder</a> which is based on that Jaeger catalog. &quot;Prägejahr&quot; is the year of issue; &quot;Wertzahl&quot; is the face value (just the digits); &quot;Währungsbezeichnung&quot; (pop-up menu) is the currency unit, e.g. Pfennig.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, those catalogs do not really cover errors. There are two books/catalogs about error coins, written by Peter Neugebauer, that I know of - one for DM coins, one for euro coins. Maybe there are others, but I am not interested in errors ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
