Community Voice Responses (April 16, 2019)

From the Mar. 22 Numismatic News E-Newsletter:

What is your favorite reference book, and why?

Here are some answers sent in from our e-newsletter readers.

 

 

My favorite book is really the series of books that cover world coins, the Krause Publications Standard Catalog of World Coins. Being able to look up any coin from the 1600s up to the present is extremely helpful. Information provided such as pricing in various grades, minting information, and geographic and political affiliation of each country is very important to my coin collecting hobby.

I hope that the current news about F+W does not affect this series of books. They are just too important to the hobby to fade away.

Being an Oklahoma Token collector first, my favorite is Oklahoma Exonumia by Richard Chadwick.

My favorite was the Standard Catalog of Small-Size U.S. Paper Money but alas it is no longer being published.

The Red Book!

My favorite reference is the newly released A Comprehensive Checklist of Vietnam Military Tokens by Sgt. Garry Arva.

It’s the easiest to use reference on the 2,000+ tokens currently known. This is to be used in companion with the CD that has the tokens as well as chits listed.

Letters to the Editor: Nov. 12, 2019

War in the Pacific ‘W’ Mintmark I was in the self-checkout at Walmart four weeks ago here in Mt. Vernon, Ill., and received a little bit of loose change for my purchase. I didn’t check it until I got home and was very surprised to find a War in the Pacific with a “W” mintmark. I’m just wondering if it’s something that I should send in to one of the grading companies. In other words, would it be worth more later on by doing so? I understand that it’ll cost at least   $30.00 to do so and also heard that “in the raw” is only worth maybe $25. I   hope to hear a reply. Name and address withheld   In Response to Richard Giedroyc’s Commentary I politely disagree with erudite and longtime numismatic colleague, Richard Giedroyc, whose Numismatic News story, “Get Rich” Promotion Wrong Angle for Healthy Market Growth,” was critical of a recent CNBC story entitled, “People have been making up to $100,000 off ‘coin hunting.’” He doesn’t think the hobby will benefit with an a...
