5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, September 6, 2000
By Robert E Strzelecki (Tampa, Fl USA) - See all my reviews
This book is by far the best for refering all US Coins and gives a far price listing for all coins. Great for beginners and expert collectors. If you going to collect coins this book is a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the new collector., January 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: 2002 American Guide to U.S. Coins: The Most Up-to-Date Coin Prices Available (American Guide to Us Coins) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for the new collector or the old collector who is staring to purchase coins. It is easy to understand and the layout makes it easy to find your coin. It could contain more info on different grades of coins from good to uncirculated, most are just fine to uncirculated. A must have for the new collector!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing !
This is definately not a 2000 book. Coin dates stop at 1984. What a waste of money this book was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Resource
This easy-to-read reference is a great way to look up any coin and embellish your collection. With commemorative information and a great civil/revolutionary war section, i think... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Obsolete and poorly written; skip it.
This book, written in 1964, makes no mention of modern grading (NGC, PCGS) services; by using only four vague price categories it makes itself almost useless. Read more
