Unless you are very new to coin collecting, this book has very little to offer. It does have some good, basic descriptions or discussions about US coins and their history, but if you are looking for what to pay for that next coin purchase you make, I would caution against relying only on this "guide".

When I purchased this book, I was most interested in reading the "Value Trends", but was disappointed to find little in that area that was helpful. The back cover in part reads: "It is the only book that gives you: (among several items) 'Price-performance graphs visually tracking a 12-year history of every series of US coins'." No such graphs were in the edition I received.

I would send the book back for a refund if it was worth my time. I would think most people would be better off buying the latest issue of the Grey Sheets or better yet Blue Sheets, that are available on the internet.
