<p>[QUOTE="umtrr-author, post: 159080, member: 5719"]What I think was about a few weeks after expressing my interest, I received my invite to check out the NumisMaster web site.</p><p><br /></p><p>NumisMaster.com is an operation of Krause Publications, the people that bring you the World Coins books and numerous magazines on coins (among other hobby topics). </p><p><br /></p><p>The usual registration is required with pretty minimal data. A link is sent to your e-mail, which you click on to complete the registration. </p><p><br /></p><p>You're given access "forever" to the sample price guide. It can be viewed by type or by date; I chose by type. When I saw it was only 60 entries, at first I thought that wasn't much, but clicking on one reveals that each entry is one Krause number and therefore includes multiple dates of a particular coin. For example, there is K#1 for Canada which is the large cent for 1858 and 1859 (multiple varieties). A description of the coin in multiple fields is accompanied by reasonbly sized obverse and reverse images of a sample. Prices in various relevant conditions are displayed at the right or the bottom of the screen; scrolling will be needed in some cases. For the Canada large cent, grades ranged from circulated to uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I expected to have only a few meager entries for the US, but what is surprising is that both Morgan and Peace dollars are included in the sample. (At least for now; I imagine that the sample is easily changed.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Access to the full price guides-- and there are three: USA, World 1901 and later, and World 1801 to 1900, is $9.95 per month for <b>each</b> guide or $59.95 per year for <b>each</b> guide. It's basically like buying the "World Coins" book every year, except, presumably, the prices are updated more frequently. There is also the opportunity to keep a de facto inventory by denoting that you own a particular coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I may have more to comment on; just not at the moment because in flipping back and forth between here and there, my browser "stopped responding" in the NumisMaster.com window. Uh, oops? </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I was reasonably impressed with the sample guide, but we are probably still too casually involved and too far in the low end of the hobby -- at least for now-- to justify a subscription. For Thalia a 2 year old copy of the 1901 and later World Coins book and a 2005 Red Book will do. Those of you who are more into serious collecting and price watching may find this site quite useful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
