Bought "Coin Collecting 101" for my 11 year old and he said it was very helpful, but for real serious collectors. For my son's type of "fun" collecting it a good reference book.

Excellent Starter Book

As a new collector I was looking for a book in which I would find answers rather quickly. This is a great book for beginner coin collectors.

Beginners start here

I've very recently started collecting coins and I found this book to be the perfect introduction.

Very Useful for the Beginner

Great stuff for the beginner in this book - small histories of US denominations, coin categories to buy with caution, useful pictorial guide on grading, basics on coin shows, great tips on preservation. Probably not woth a buy for the experienced, but it is called coin collecting 101. Could have done without all the pages of state quarters. Seriously, it looks like the author was just filling pages. Overall all though, worth a buy for the novice.
