5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have for the beginner or serious collector!,
By Andrew Addison (Grand Rapids, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide Book of United States Coins 2001 (Guide Book of United States Coins (Paper)) (Spiral-bound)
First of all, make sure you buy the spiral version (this version) vs. the paperback or the hardcover. It's better, trust me, you'll see.About the book- this is THE book for the beginner or the serious coin collector. Color photographs throughout (the only one with all color photographs), up to seven grade/price columns for each coin, ALL the coins EVER minted by the US Mint (and colonial pre-mint coins), descriptions to determine the grades of your coins, and much more. Use this book to get a general idea of the worth of your coins and bring it with you to the coins shows to make sure you don't pay too much for those coins you want to buy. There are other coin books out there, but none or very few in there 54 edition. Buy this one, you won't be sorry.

Hidden Money,
This review is from: A Guide Book of United States Coins 2001 (Guide Book of United States Coins (Paper)) (Spiral-bound)
I recently purchased this book and it gave me information about every single coin that I collected. It gave me the collector's value of my coins which was an astonishing $3,000! I am eternally grateful.
