[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 36753, member: 669"]Definitely not a silly question Robin. The unusual coin catalog covers fantasy pieces from non-nations, such as Aidan Work's beloved "Hutt River Principality", and other borderline numismatic/exonumismatic items, including many privately minted coin-like items. I recently borrowed a copy from the ANA library, and had a very enjoyable time identifying a number of Chinese items I had seen on EBay and never previously been able to confirm. In it Colin Bruce, who originated it, and is the current editor of all the Krause coin catalogs, assigns numbers to the items cataloged which do not already have a Craig, Yoemans, Krause, or other similar ID, and you will occasionally see something advertised as "Bruce #xx". At double the size of the old one, it will probably be somewhere close to the size of the 18th Century volume, a little thicker than the 19th Century, and quite a bit thinner than the 20/21st Century volume. I'm looking forward to its publication. BTW and OT - Did Joe get you a nice Valentine's Day card?[/QUOTE]
