Message:: [QUOTE="hontonai, post: 563744, member: 4703"]In various coin catalogs, including the Krause series: <ul> <li>"C#" = "Craig Number", referring to the designation made by W.D. Craig in his Coins of the World 1750-1850</li> <li>"KM#" = "Krause Number", referring to the designation originally made by Chester L. Krause and Clifford Mishler (and their successors) in the Standard Catalog of World Coins series</li> <li>"P#" = "Pick Number", referring to the designation made by Pick, in the Standard Catalog of Paper Currency series (published by Krause).</li> <li>"Y#" = "Yeomans Number", referring to the designation originally made by Richard Yeomans in his various catalogs, including Modern World Coins and Current Coins of the World.</li> </ul>Many other numbers are in relatively common use within specialized numismatic areas, including Sears Numbers for many ancient coins, Schjoth Numbers for certain Asian cash coins, "Charlton Numbers" for Canadian coins, and "JNDA Numbers" used in the Japanese Numismatic Dealers Association annual catalogs.  "Schon Numbers" designated in The Simon & Schuster World Coin Catalogue are used both in German and English versions. The "Red Book", "Blue Book" and "Black Book" all deal strictly with coins which have circulated in the U.S. or the Colonies from which it was formed.  The first two are "Official" because Whitman Publishing says they are, with no governmental or numismatic organization backing them up. Personally, I've never heard of a book precisely matching your thread title inquiry, nor have I ever heard of the "KN" numbers you inquire about.[/QUOTE]
