My book is outdated.,
This review is from: Best Buys in Rare Coins: What Expert Dealers and Collectors Advise (Paperback)
Hello. I'm Donn Pearlman, and I'm the author of "Best Buys in Rare Coins: What Expert Dealers and Collectors Advise." It was enjoyable to write, and at the time it came out -- way, way back in 1990 -- it was informative and useful.
Coin collecting is still fun, and people can make money with prudent purchases of rare coins and bank notes. There are still nuggets of useful info in my book, but it's long outdated. You won't find a word about the Internet in any chapters. You can buy the book at the deeply discounted prices you'll find for it these days, and read what experts have to say about various coins and get "a feel" for the enjoyment of the hobby. Then, purchase one the very best, up-to-date books about numismatics: "The Coin Collector's Survival Manual" (fifth edition, 2006) by Scott A. Travers. That book will save you money, and perhaps make you money. I know Scott personally, and he's a straight shooter, consumer advocate. The New York Times once described him as "the Ralph Nadar of numismatics." Happy collecting, -donn- Donn Pearlman
