WHERE TO FIND SWISS SHOOTING TALERS CATALOGUEDRegarding Bob Knepper's question about Swiss Shooting Talers, Tom Michael of Krause Publications writes:We list them in the Unusual World Coins Catalog, which is
in it's 5th edition and available form coin dealers or from our bookstore
at http://www.krausebooks.com/product/647/4
Many, but not all, Swiss Shooting Taler types are illustrated in UWC. In the Swiss section you will also find other local Swiss medallic issues and types of limited circulation. I like the Huguenin Freres Talers, which are readily available in the market and feature views of various cities. We hope to continue adding to these listings, as each new year's issues are released and are doing this with the assistance of Craig Keplinger. Craig is a dealer in Swiss coins, with a specialization in the Shooting Festival coins. Collectors of this series will also want to keep an eye on NumisMaster at http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis.jsp as the new issues Craig supplies the data for will first be listed there on the website before they appear in a printed work such as UWC. Craig is also working to get all types illustrated on NumisMaster well before we produce a 6th edition of UWC. Depending on page count and size limits, we also would like to add the Swiss Shooting Talers back into the regular Standard Catalog series at some point in the future. For the moment however, NumisMaster provides a ready and accessible outlet for collector to keep up to date. I'll post this information on my blog - Big Ideas, little world - also, with some additional information.
