Summary: Avoid this unless you wish to collect early U.S. coins!
Comment: This book is woefully inadequate for anybody who wishes to learn to grade modern U.S. coins. One explanation for this may be the 1990 copyright date because it quite simply leaves out critical information for certain collectible U.S. coins. This book does have some vital and relevant information such as coin collecting nomenclature but this information is available in better, more helpful books. Certainly, the sections dedicated to "High Points of Design" and "Visual Impairment Severity Levels" which use photographic blow-ups of actual coins to show points and areas of concern for the grading of coins are an excellent visual aid, and especially helpful regarding U.S. commemoratives which are thoughtfully included in the book. However, the book lacks absolutely anything about the Kennedy Half Dollar and leaves out essential Visual Impairment Diagrams of the Jefferson Nickel; nothing for the Anthony Dollar either which, considering the fact that they are barely collectible in anything less than uncirculated conidtion, is probably forgivable, but still...
The book you want to buy right now instead, flaws and all, is 'Photograde.' I would definitely avoid this book unless one is only interested in building a so-called type coin collection or U.S. commemoratives in which case this is a definite buy. Otherwise, wait for the inevitable update because this version is outdated!
