I THINK THIS BOOK WILL PAY FOR ITSELF IN A FEW FINDS.WE HAVE NEEDED A BOOK WITH BILL FIVAZ EXPERTISE FOR YEAR.SURE HOPE A UNDATED VOLUME ONE IS COMING SOON.A FANTASTIC BOOK.I LEARN MORE EACH TIME I OPEN THIS GREAT BOOK.I HAVE 30 YEAR OLD ERROR BOOKS THAT ARE MORE LIKE A COMIC BOOK COMPARED TO THIS MASTERPIECE.

Execellent!

A great asset to collectors. Users will find great information on varieties. Highly recommended.

A top pick.

Cherrypicker's Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States Coins isn't for novices: it tells avid collectors how to cherrypick rare coins, culling a collection of normal coins for the rare characteristics and issues that make for unique acquisitions. This 4th updated edition represents the 2nd volume: it covers half dimes to modern dollars, gold, commemoratives, and packs in the black and white photo close-ups of marks and dies which make identification of smaller marks a snap. Reviews of collector holdings, varieties of coins, and discussions and arguments within the collecting community over the cause of marks enhance a lay-flat binding with spine lettering perfect for frequent consultation or library shelving. A top pick. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

Great Slugs and Punches

This is the Bible for anyone who collects coins. Look at your coins carefully. You never know when you'll find a coin that has a Wonderful Mint Error. I've found several mint errors in my collection, a couple of which I had varified. Unfortunately nothing really glaring, but did raise the value of a few enough to keep me looking. I haven't looked at 1/3 of my collection. You coin collectors need to have this book.

At last it is here!

I have about worn out vol one waiting for vol 2 to show up but the wait was worth it. Great pictures and the new format is better and more useable. Every true collector of US coins, needs this book sitting on their desk. Thank you gentlemen.
