I often use this catalog and others from this publisher (Krause & Mishler for 19th, 18th, 17th century and for banknotes). And... yes, I am satisfied. The Catalog shows photos of coin (both obverse and reverse) and provides information about coin, namely diameter, weight, alloy (material), purity of alloy, if coin is made from silver or gold also ASW, AGW (actual silver/gold weight, calculated as Troy ounce), mintage (how many coins were produced), description of obverse/reverse, sometimes edge of coin, mint, etc. Of course, catalog provides price of coin, which is divided according year and some levels of quality. Each coin has number–known as KM number–so my colleagues can easy find mentioned coin(s).Some coins have two variants and this catalog sometimes mentions variant, but unfortunately sometimes variant of the coin is not described (for example, variant has lower numbers, or different word order on the edge, and the price of the variant can be ten times higher). It is general catalog, so that it does not provide other facts, such as engraver, artists, mint, and so on.This catalog, in full title as "2016 Standard Catalog of World Coins, 43rd edition" is unique, excellent, does not have rivals so that I recommend it. Numismatist can find a lot of necessary information, almost all crucial facts (and some particular information could find in special literature). I heard sentence: "Coin collecting is Hobby of The Kings and The King of Hobbies"... so that I can paraphrase: This Catalog is King of Numismatic Catalogs!
Great Reference and easy to use.
It is and remains the STANDARD for collecting. i do not buy each year but am happy to see more expansion in this issue.Highly recommended
