Title: Coin Collecting for Dummies by Ron Guth ISBN: 0-7645-5389-5 Publisher: For Dummies Pub. Date: 15 September, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $21.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.62 (8 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Funny & Enlightening
Comment: Guth is a great expositor on the hobby/obsession of coins and coin collecting. The history of U.S coinage is one of the most interesting storie in the world and deserves a wider audience. It also deserves a great book, a story to capture the imagination that would also capture the hearts of the readers. Alas, this book is not that creature. But it is a great guide for beginners or anyone interested in the notorious ins and outs (including trading, on-line dealers, honesty and prices) of coin collecting. The allure of the hobby (sport?) is captured in his infectious passion and the humorous tales bring the reader back down to Earth.
By all means purchase his new book, THE 100 GREATEST U.S. COINS (co-authored with Garrett), a coffee table work that redefines the notion of presentation. It is a gorgeous tome, with history, prices and best of all, incredibly beautiful photographs of these noteworthy coins. One is almost transported into the numismatic section of the Smithsonian by this book.

Summary: Everyone has to start somewhere
Comment: Usually the "for dummies book" like a children's book will give you fundamentals to get off the ground on a subject. However this book is too fundamental and too broad and too narrow at the same time. Not that it does not contain helpful information, however right from the beginning I could find no mention of Notegeld or any porcelain coins. Nether did of the referenced address the subject. This leads me to believe that there are other vertical collection markets that are not being addressed or even mentioned in this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: This Book is Right On the Money
Comment: This is a great book to read - even for non-coin collectors. The historical data is fascinating. Well written, good touches of humor - informative and educational. I think it's appropriate for anyone from beginning to experienced collectors and just about anyone who's interested in money.
