drdn Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 04/04/2025 02:09 am Recently picked up a few albums and was going through online references. Has anyone purchased/used the " FAO COINS INTERNATIONAL CATALOG" by Attilio Armiento? Seems like the 2022 edition is updated to a decent degree. Bought via ebay and a bit pricey. Anyone have thoughts on it? Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25108 Posts	Posted 04/04/2025 10:20 am I've seen it for sale and yes it is a bit pricey. I have quite a few FAO coins but can get most of the information I need from Numista. Is it worth buying the catalog?

drdn Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 04/04/2025 1:24 pm From what I have read it is the definitive reference and who doesn't like that? I've had some issues with getting info on the medals from numista and such. On a related note, I picked up the red, green, blue, green and lt blue albums in a lot for an ok price. I was on the fence but then I saw the pics of the St Lucia etc coins and they appeared to be the proof ones not the regular circ strikes and that pushed me over. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't have any medals so don't know if the book would be of great use to me. I can use that $$$ to get more coins!

drdn Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 08:59 am Well darn looks like due to tariffs and what not the price has gone up substantially since when I last looked. With chipping it's about $120. Too rich for my blood at the moment.... Report this Post to the Staff
