<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 627768, member: 4703&quot;]The reference I consult most often is the latest edition of the annual <i>Nihon Kahei Katurogu</i> (Japanese Numismatic Dealers Association Catalog), followed by the 20th Century volume of the <i>Standard Catalog of World Coins</i> by Krause/Mishler/Bruce, and then - in this order - the 19th, 21st, 18th, and 17th Century volumes.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more traditional &quot;reference books&quot;, It&#039;s really a tossup between <i>Japanese Coinage</i>, 2d Ed., 1972 by Jacobs and Vermuele, and <i>Coins of Japan</i>, 1904, by Neil Gordon Munro.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why?&nbsp; Because they contain the information I want to ascertain.&nbsp; Other than Krause, they are all vital for collectors of Japanese coins, and virtually useless for everyone else.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I have quite a few other catalogs and reference library material covering my interests.&nbsp; I even own a Red Book that&#039;s less than 10 years old.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
