[QUOTE="Stork, post: 2799511, member: 71642"]I'm talking more than just a missing mintage/variety listing, or even when they accidentally leave out a few pages. Something flat out WRONG. I've posted my favorite examples before from Albania (the 1928 1 and 2 Franga that were minted in provas, but not circulation, and the gold 1926 Zog bust 20 FrA) but now I'm curious if there is other flat out wrong stuff like coins not minted listed or minted and not listed etc. And, in Krause's defense I've gotten ahold of an Italian sourced listing of the Albanian money from 1975. It too has identifiable errors, but does list the above coins as ones exiting. There is a bibliography in the back which includes the 1972 Krause, so some of that might be a circular perpetuating of bad info. I need to go through that bibliography and try and get more texts to look at. Looking at the Bank of Albania site it does NOT support the minting of circulating coins in 1928, but oddly does place one of the gold provas there. It also is missing an obviously 'real' coin though, and has a bit of translating issues (calling some silvers gold). Anyway, it's clear that there is something not right about the Krause section, I just can't figure out a definitive source to offer corrections. So, what are the flat out errors you can say about Krause?[/QUOTE]
