There does not seem to be much activity in this newsgroup, but I
hope there are enough people listening to answer this question.
I collect coins, or rather I did until I went to college. At that
time I left my coin collection at home and have not done much with it.
I am now interested in working with it again after 8 years.
Part of the collection is a large number of foreign coins. They are
mostly cataloged using Yeoman's *Modern World Coins* and *Current
Coins of the World*. Since I don't have a copy of CCotW and my copy of
MWC dates from 1974 I need to get a new reference. What should I
use? Should I stick with Yeoman or are there better reference books
available?
Also, what coin shops and coin clubs are there in Eastern Massachusetts?
I live about 20 miles north of Worcester and 30 miles from Boston,
but I don't usually go into Boston.
I will send a summary of the answers I get to interested parties.
Thanks,
B.J.
