Great overview of coins and collecting

Never has more information and colorful pictures been packed in such a small book. It was this book that encouraged me to start collection porcelain notgeld. The Contents list does not do justice to all the helpful information given in this book. * The Early Coins * Making Coins * What is in a Coin * Proof and Commemorative Coins and Tokens * Portraits and Pictorialism Marks and Symbols * Date, Legends and Inscriptions * The Coin Collector's Guide Just one chapter alone (What is in a Coin) it covers * Gold * Silver * Copper * Platinum * Nickel * Iron * Zinc * Tin * Lead * Aluminum * Alloys * Non-metallic (pasteboard, porcelain, stoneware, plastic, wood, etc.) * Shape (Square, Triangular, Many-sided, Wavy-sided) And the list goes on. This is defiantly a good starting place and would make a good present.
