Biography"Krause Publications is an American publisher of hobby magazines and books. Originally a company founded and based in Iola, Wisconsin,[1] they relocated to Stevens Point, Wisconsin, in April 2018.[2] The company was started by Chester L. Krause (1923–2016) upon the publication in October 1952 of the first issue of Numismatic News.[3] In the coin collecting community the company is best known for its Standard Catalog of World Coins, a series of coin catalogs commonly referred to as Krause-Mishler catalogs or simply Krause catalogs; they provide information, pricing, and Krause-Mishler (KM) numbers[4] referring to coin rarity and value. Krause-Mishler (named for Krause and longtime employee Clifford Mishler) numbers are the most common way of assigning values to coins. The first edition was published in 1972.[5] In addition, they established the Coin of the Year Award, first issued in 1984, for excellence in coinage design.[6]"--Wikipedia
