What books might use the FD catalogue system for Oriental coins.
I'm trying to crossreference KM, Hartill and Schjoth numbers.
Help or suggestions Appreciated.

FD is "Fisher's Ding" - a 1990 English-language translation by George Albert Fisher of a 1980 Chinese-language coin catalogue by Ding Fubao.

Schjoth is older (1929); FD quotes Schjoth numbers. The Jin catalogue (published by Krause Publications) quotes both FD and Schjoth numbers, but is full of errors; entire chapters have been wrongly numbered. I think Hartill has now superseded them all in terms of comprehensiveness and accuracy.

KM numbers are their own creature and the KM catalogues don't cross-reference any other book for cast cash coins; they bear little connection to the other catalogues and few people who specialize in cash coins would use them, mainly because they "start halfway through" at 1601.

Sounds like I need to step up my game and get the Hartill book.
Thanks.
