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 to particular 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 great place to start; it is easy to navigate and gives cursory information on particular 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.
