Customer Reviews

A lot of error coin guides are available

There are a lot of error coin guides on the market; however, purchasing a coin guide written by a numismatist associated with ANA and a writer for coin magazines ensures the accuracy of the information. I have returned other guides with ambiguous, incorrect, misleading, and false statements about error coins. Many of these books are cut and pasted from the internet, thus obtaining incorrect information.  If you want to get smarter, this is the book for you; otherwise, you just might be taking a lot of steps back.
