Worth every penny

I was hesitant about the price, but the depth of information justifies the cost. It has helped me identify several rare varieties in my own collection that I previously missed.

Comprehensive but technical

This is definitely for advanced collectors or researchers. Beginners might find the terminology a bit dense, but the visual guides help clarify things. A solid addition to any numismatic library.

Great content, heavy book

The information inside is top-tier and very comprehensive. My only minor complaint is the weight; it's quite heavy to hold while reading at a desk. Otherwise, a fantastic reference tool.

Essential for archaeological research

I use this primarily for academic research regarding late Qing and Republic era currency. The historical context provided alongside the minting data is invaluable. Highly recommended for serious scholars.
