5.0 out of 5 stars From beginners to novice, April 1, 2000

By 

Kenneth E. Dufield (Mid U.S.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cc: Comp. Cat U.s. Coins (Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Us Coins) (Paperback)

The Comprehensive Catalog to U.S. coins is the most informative literature to enable the beginner expand his/her knowledge of U.S. coins but also enrich the novice by broadening his/her expertise in other U.S. coins. This piece of work is very helpful for all stages of individuals seeking knowledge of early to modern type coins. I always refer to this catalog of coins when I encounter an early type piece I'm not familiar with. This book not only expands but also tantilize my mind by the many types of U.S. coins depicted. Not a book to loan out if you wish to have it returned. I've purchased my second copy and will a third when it's updated. Thanks for a excellent book.
