<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2471003, member: 16729&quot;]Very common, from my experience for the Standard Catalog of World Coins NOT to list every mint set.&nbsp; They&#039;re trying to cover the whole world, for goodness sakes!&nbsp; They&#039;re bound to make errors.&nbsp; Micro-focused collectors (like me) will often obtain better information about a single country&#039;s coinage than Krause publishes.&nbsp; The real problem with the Krause catalog is that they do not update their information well enough, or even have a way to back up the claims that they DO make in their catalogue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure what your red slipcover wording means... This certainly does not look like your typical &quot;tourist&quot; tchotchke set that was slapped together in the hundreds by some fly-by-night operation to sell at some stall in a crowded tourist attraction.&nbsp; It looks like an official Bank of China (Taiwan) product, due to the quality of the hardcase and the decent strike and condition of the coins inside.&nbsp; &quot;Subsidiary&quot; might mean that a company was given permission to assemble these sets in lieu of the Bank?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
