[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2993769, member: 46237"]After the numismatist István Adamovszky's death, his son revised and updated his father's (1848-2010) book, and it is quite good for classic/modern Hungarian. I carry that book: [I]Ifj. Adamovszky István: Magyar Érmekatalógus 1848-2012[/I] with me to all shows for reference, since the period I collect is 1848-1956. His father also wrote a book on an earlier period: Magyar [I]É[/I]rmekatalógus 997-1037 Árpád-ház. Many Hungarian collectors are using Adamovszky's catalog system (Adamo numbering), however, the "gold standard" catalog is Huszár. Huszár Lajos' 1979 masterwork: [I]Münzkatalog Ungarn[/I] is probably the most relevant book for what you collect. It's published in both German and Hungarian and can be found affordably in paperback (original hardcovers go for quite a bit). I would not recommend Krause for a specialized Hungarian collector at all, since they have a lot of omissions and errors in their catalog. I also keep my collection up on collectivecoin.com/Jaelus along with pictures and holes for missing coins for my sets. That is quite handy to use as a reference when at shows, especially if I'm considering an upgrade.[/QUOTE]
