Perhaps the greatest contribution to collecting ever made by Fred
Reinfeld was the popularization of world numismatics among Americans.
He wrote about a subject that suffered from a lack of public
awareness in the US. Ironically, before the annual appearance of the
Krause- Mishler opus, "Standard Catalog of World Coins," many young
numismatists thought the twelve coins illustrated in Reinfeld's book
on French coins, or the 15 on Germany comprised the entire series!
Yet, credit where credit is due, he was a pioneer in introducing many
people to the diversity and breadth of "world collecting." His
"Catalogue of the World's Most Popular Coins" was and is a milestone
achievement.
Thank you very much, especially since I am reprinting that book right
now, at this very moment.
Watch the following listings:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/4871878007
Within less than one week, you will see "Catalogue of the World's Most
Popular Coins" by Fred Reinfeld listed for sale.
It was a massive job to do this, as the original book has more than
4000 pictures of coins.
