This review is from: How to Build a Coin Collection (Paperback)

"Tells virtually all the beginner needs to know to start, develop and maintain an accumulation of U.S., foreign and ancient coins with fun and investment as objectives." - The New York Times

A complete guide for the beginner as well as a reference book for the advanced collector, this handbook by two of America's foremost numismatic writers covers U.S. mintage completely and samples the most interesting foreign coins as well. It tells you how to go about collecting coins by denomination, type, and year, as well as in proof or roll, and, most important, explains how to determine each coin's condition and value.

Among the helpful features:
Enlarged recognition photographs of key coins in each U.S. series, with arrows pointing to mint marks...a valuable list of "collector" coins...up-to-date catalog of coin values...sound advice on coins to buy for future value or historical interest...how to take care of your coins.

"So well organized, so clearly written, and so rich in excellent illustrations that it will certainly delight nayone starting out in this field. - The Rotarian
