<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 144478, member: 669&quot;]Besides KM#s (Krause &amp; Mishler, original editors of the Standard Catalog of World Coins), the two most common IDs for world coins are Yeoman (Y#) and Craig (C#).&nbsp; In fact, Krause uses the well established Y/C numbers for some countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>RS Yeoman was the original editor of the Red and Blue Books.&nbsp; Also among his eight major publications are <i>Modern World Coins 1850-1964</i> (13th Ed. 1984), a pioneering attempt to catalog world coinage; and the companion <i>Current Coins of the World</i> (8th Ed. 1988), which extended coverage to post-&#039;64 coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>WD Craig&#039;s <i>Coins of the World 1750-1850</i> (2d Ed.1971) extended Yeoman&#039;s coverage by another century earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>All three works were published by affiliates of Whitman Publishing.&nbsp; Several months ago in response to my inquiry, Whitman said they are considering updated editions of the Yeoman books, but they didn&#039;t indicate when to expect them. <img src="http://boards.collectors-society.com/images//graemlins/confused-smiley-013.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
