5.0 out of 5 stars Provides interesting & braod information, May 12, 2007
This review is from: History of the U.S. Mint and Its Coinage (Red Book) (Hardcover)
The book takes you through a tour of US mint & coin history. The information is more broad than deep. It provides lots of interesting information in small chunks. Each writeup is 1-6 pages in length centered around a particular mint, person, coin, or event. I really enjoyed this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great history of our mints, August 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: History of the U.S. Mint and Its Coinage (Red Book) (Hardcover)
Hard to say anything bad about this--a great work with lots of engaging information about the history of how our coins are made at the various mints. Numerous side-bars add value, although do tend to be a little confusing somethings. Very comprehensive, belongs on every serious numistmatist's bookshelf. Great book, nice binding, great information!
