<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 1976600, member: 16729&quot;]Sure, I understand that.&nbsp; Special pleading aside, I would certainly appreciate it that when Krause makes an assertion, such as &quot;Die Varieties Exist&quot; for a single coin (identified by a single Krause KM number), they would be willing and able to share details of that assertion, at least in brief form, and have *some* documentary evidence to back it up, either the testimony of a &quot;expert&quot; on those coins or a paper trail of some sort. That is, if they are not TOO backed up and/or too small of an operation to respond to customer inquiries.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong.&nbsp; I really do appreciate their efforts to provide us a reference and at least try to estimate market prices for so many coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also suppose that Krause is not receiving the benefits of third-party, peer-review of their publications.&nbsp; I can name several errors related to their descriptions of obverse and reverse designs, reasons for commemoration, mintages, not to mention values, for just South Korea.&nbsp; I have authoritative, Korean-language sources that contradict many of them.&nbsp; And, yes, I have contacted Krause regarding these errors approximately three years ago, but with no response of any kind.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it&#039;s just a matter of the enormity of their subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
