NEW BOOK: GOLD COINS OF THE WORLD, 9TH ED.

Publisher Coin & Currency Institute has an article on CoinWeek January 30, 2017 about the latest edition of Gold Coins of the World. -Editor

Gold Coins of the World 9th ed The previous edition of Gold Coins of the World, by Arthur L. Friedberg and Ira S. Friedberg, was published eight years ago in 2009. That edition--the eighth--and each one before it descended from the original, groundbreaking 1958 work by Robert Friedberg, whose cataloging and numbering system revolutionized the way gold coins are collected. It changed the face of world-gold collecting at that time, and it remains unparalleled in its scope and universal usage today, nearly six decades later.

Collectors and dealers around the world rely on the Friedberg Numbering System to systematically identify and study any gold coin ever made. Now, the Friedberg legacy is renewed yet again with the all-new, ninth edition of Gold Coins of the World. Three years in the making, the newest edition calls on the expertise of a numismatic who’s-who of more than 100 expert contributors and consultants from across the globe.

The continued respect commanded by each edition of the volume is due to the expertise of both the authors and the impressive contributors they bring together. The popularity of gold coins, however, is due to a whole host of factors.

It is not an overstatement to say that the history of gold coinage parallels, and has helped define, the trajectory of civilization.
