I made this request before, but received no response.  This is no too
surprising since I only see about 3 or 4 articles a week in this newsgroup,
but I would appreciate hearing from anyone with an opinion on this.
If you sent me a mail message, thank you and please try again with a
different message or post the message to this group.
						Thanks,
                                                B.J.
============================================================================

There does not seem to be much activity in this newsgroup, but I
hope there are enough people listening to answer this question.

I collect coins, or rather I did until I went to college.  At that
time I left my coin collection at home and have not done much with it.
I am now interested in working with it again after 8 years.

Part of the collection is a large number of foreign coins.  They are
mostly cataloged using Yeoman's *Modern World Coins* and *Current
Coins of the World*.  Since I don't have a copy of CCotW and my copy of
MWC dates from 1974 I need to get a new reference.  What should I
use?  Should I stick with Yeoman or are there better reference books
available?

Also, what coin shops and coin clubs are there in Eastern Massachusetts?
I live about 20 miles north of Worcester and 30 miles from Boston,
but I don't usually go into Boston.

I will send a summary of the answers I get to interested parties.
						Thanks,
						B.J.
