NumisMaster.com Makes Coin Prices Available Online

Iola, WI (PRWEB) June 21, 2007

What's a coin worth? It's a question that surfaces often in life -- not necessarily when counting change at McDonald's, but at other times, like:

-When a great-grandparent bequeaths a coin collection to remaining family.
-When returning from a foreign country and taking note of leftover currency.
-When the nightly news carries stories like the Tampa treasure hunters who found $500 million worth of coins in an Atlantic Ocean shipwreck.

Krause Publications, the world's leading publisher of coin and paper money books and magazines, has launched a web resource where users of all types can satisfy their coin-related curiosity:
NumisMaster.

Available online at http://www.numismaster.com, NumisMaster opens Krause's coin and paper money database to a worldwide online audience and allows hobbyists to select and sort the information to fit their individual collecting interests.

This database comprises the content of every book Krause Publications has published in the Standard Catalog line of price guides for more than 50 years -- more than 1 million coin prices. Real-time pricing, featuring daily updates from a respected team of coin and paper money experts, makes NumisMaster a must-have tool for dealers and collectors. Customers can enjoy timely analysis of market trends, precious-metals market fluctuations, and auction-prices realized data -- all via a user-friendly website (some features coming soon).
