Summary: The single best reference for any coin collector
Comment: At our popular Internet rare coin shop, we receive many e-mail requests for information regarding a myriad of details concerning rare coins, such as their precious metal content; who designed a particular coin; what years was a specific design of coin minted; what do the letters "D" "CC" or "S" mean on a coin; what is the approximate value of a specific coin; what is "bullion;" etc.

The single most comprehensive and easiest to use reference for answering such questions remains this wonderful book which also holds a record as the longest running annual coin publication. Earlier editions have even become collector items with their own strong following. This is the first book anyone beginning to collect rare coins should purchase. The second is "Photograde." Between these two exceptionally well-written books many insights and reliable facts about rare coin collecting are presented.

This book is more commonly called "The Red Book," and is seldom out of arm's reach. It is unusual to go a day without opening our copy to check at least one fact or review one detail. This is a definite FIVE STAR book on coin collecting which carries our strongest possible purchase recommendation.

Summary: The best price and ID guide for US coins.
Comment: R.S.Yeoman wrote his first book about coins over 50 years ago and updated it every year. Others have kept up the tradition, resulting in the best identification and price guide on the market today. The 51st edition has full color photos and hordes of technical information (size, weight, composition) and market prices for every coin made by the US Mint, as well as colonial pieces, commemorative pieces, and a brief section on errors.

If you buy only one coin book, buy this one as it will contain the most information. Having said that, this one contains the LEAST information about the Mint, the coin making process, the history of coinage and numismatists over the ages. It offers little information about die varieties and other specalized information. In addition, because it is published once a year (and takes six months to reach shelves), its prices are out of date the moment it's available. They're not much out of date, just a little wrong..

Overall, an outstanding resource that any coin collector should have. You'll use it quite often.

Rating: 5
Summary: Straight and short
Comment: As a coin collector this is a must have for your reference library.
