[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 2168764, member: 16729"]Yeah, I got so much more information from resources from my coins' native-countries. Now, you just have to read "Magyar," huh? Hopefully you or someone you know is literate in Hungarian. Google translate can help (a little), if not. In addition to English-language searches on Hungarian coins, another avenue is to do some Hungarian-language internet searches, and find books written by Hungarian experts on these coins. I went from zero information, to overload of information on S. Korean coins when I found a book written by one of their former currency designers who worked at the time of the most change at their Mint. If he hadn't written that book, all those stories, all that history would have been lost, as it wasn't written down by anybody other than him. The Korean catalogues help, too, as well as Korean-Language blogs put up by "coin people" in Korea. A whole new world may be opening up for you. Krause is nice, but [B]very [/B]limited, in my experience.[/QUOTE]
