The 2013 Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000 is now available from Krause Publications.

Edited by world coin experts George Cuhaj and Tom Michael, this top-selling, one-of-a-kind coin guide contains nearly 1 million values for coins minted around the world between 1901 and 2000. With few exceptions, the values stated in this new 40th edition have risen from the previous year, and in some cases, the values have increased substantially -- based on market demand. Cuhaj and Michael worked with more than 200 experts worldwide to compile information for this volume.

In addition to current values, this book also contains 60,000 actual-size illustrations of coins -- including the obverse and reverse. These illustrations are great for helping to accurately identify coins -- an essential part of grading and pricing coins.

With listings for gold, platinum, palladium and silver coins, this 2,400-page book also helps readers chart a course of success in today's turbulent precious metals market by providing:

-Total coin weight
-Fineness
-Actual precious metal content

Collector coins, sets, trial strikes, pieforts, patterns, token issues and more are featured in the 40th edition of the Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000.
