5.0 out of 5 stars Great Free Guide for Coin Prices, June 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A whole slew of free books just got released about coin, stamp, and currency collecting, and they are all quite good.
Warman's U.S. Stamps Field Guide Has collecting info and prices for US Stamps
Warman's U.S. Coin Collecting Purely about collecting, no prices
Warman's U.S. Coins & Currency Field Guide Coin prices, and a small amount of collection info
Warman's Companion U.S. Coins & Currency Mostly price listings.

All four books are well-illustrated, and the extensive tables are all done well. There are many items in these books that are oftem botched in a Kindle conversion, but all four of these books are done well.

There are two very similar books here -- Companion and Field Guide. Both of them have moderate collecting info, and prices for a wide variety of US Coins. I haven't seen a huge amount of difference in the info available in these two free books, so I'm not yet sure which to point out as the better book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read for a novice of coin and currency, July 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was able to pick this up during the brief period it was free.

As someone who knows little about coin and currency collecting, I found this a very interesting read. The information on how the market has changed over the past few years is quite useful. The grading scale is very handy. I figured worn coins were typically not worth much, but I didn't realize there was so much variation in coins never issued (due to damage from being in the bag).

This would be very useful to a collector in the field, or someone who just wants an idea of what a collection they inherited might be worth.

The companion does a great job of providing contact information for various societies that could be joined, also.
