Watch List notes:

Coole, Arthur B., Encyclopedia of Chinese Coins: Volumes 1-7, Lawrence, Massachusetts, Quarterman Publications, Inc, Compendium of every illustration of knife, spade & related non-round coins and funeral monies in the available literature up to circa 1970 along with discussions of Seal scrip. Good one-stop source for the researcher. Volume 6 on Ming knives is more comprehensive than any other reference; Volume 3 is useful for spotting odd variants of square-foot late spades and Volume 5 covers interesting "debatable " money items. This ambitious project died with Coole himself, and Volume 7 covering pre-T'ang round coinages was completed later, covering about 1900 pieces. This is a complete set of volumes, including the important Bibliography Volume 1, and out-of-print Volume 4, set of 7 books.
