As my collection slowly moves back in time

I need a guide, so I just do not blindly pay big bucks for cute pictures. There are a lot of good guides and some more specific on eras and locations such as Westphalia. But as you do a coin search you are bound to run across something you are not familiar with and need a guide. This guide is a wonderful place to start; it is easy to navigate and gives cursory information on locations and times surrounding the coin’s production.

Keep in mind that this is just a guide, there are holes, and the coins are not displayed in color. On the other hand, the coins shown are in actual size; size is hard to translate from internet pictures.

With all the electronic references today, it is nice to have something tactile, static, and transportable. This book meets all those needs.
