I was at the CICF show in Rosemont/Chicago and stopped by the Krause/FW table. I noticed that they are breaking up the 20th Century book and now will have a 21st Century book. Ah, thats great - now I'll have to buy one more book! screwy.gif

Not really. Why would you need to buy a 21st Century book? It'll only be filled with NCLT garbage that is put out only to sucker people out of their money by getting them to think they are buying a coin when instead they are buying a stamped piece of metal that likely has no real face value.

Wouldn't it be better if they broke up the 20th century volume into circulation coins and collector coins? I know that would mean lumping noteworthy collector coins (like the 1935 NZ proof set) with recent junk (like Marshall Islands NCLT), but at least those interested in collecting coins that actually circulated in their countries of issue could find them more easily.

The 1935 NZ PF Set is at least close to being circulating coins. They just need to remove the pure modern NCLT stuff. Basically anything from Gibraltar, Cook Islands, Isle of Man, any of those million small islands no one has heard of, but produces tons of coins, and all the African nations that have no mint, but seem to produce coins honoring the first flight to the moon, Marilyn Monroe, the Hindenburg, and JFK.

 

When flipping thru the catalog it's really amazing to see how much junk there is. Some countries take a ton of pages and it's all NCLT garbage.

Yes, but they started out honorable. The original one was for protection of the marine life. It went downhill from there.

893scratchchin-thumb.gif Actually, the US has nothing on some of these small island countries. They can churn out 20+ commems in a year.

Maybe they can start an island quarter program. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

Gee, what the heck am I looking at on page 1115 in the 19th Century 3rd Ed., and on pages 2225-2233 of the 20th/21st Century 33rd Ed.?confused-smiley-013.gif

They need to break it up into 2 catalogs.

 

1. world coins

2. Franklin Mint/Pobjoy Mint products.

 

I'd appreciate it if they would add the Royal Canadian Mint NCLT that doesn't look anything like their circulations coins (e.g. the $8 Moose coin) to catalogue #2.
