[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 776767, member: 4703"]A trip to your local public library's reference section is in order. There you will find the Standard Catalog of World Coins, a five-volume set of phonebook-size books containing pictures, descriptions, and historical information about coins of the world from 1601-now - one century per volume. Also known as "Krause", the set may not be available in full at your library, but they can obtain any volume you need through inter-library loan. After you have reviewed your collection, you can decide whether you want to get more deeply into what many call "The Darkside", and perhaps buy your own needed references. The values listed in Krause are generally indicative of whether a coin is common or rare, but don't rely too heavily on their being accurate and up-to-date. You might want to post more of them here, especially including those where the legends are in a different script, for comment by forum members.[/QUOTE]
