Customer Reviews

An excellent resource

I bought this book because I want to make money with coins more than collect them for the sake of collecting. While I certainly love coins and appreciate their history, my main interest is making a profit. So I bought this book with that in mind. I was not let down. This is a well-written book on high-quality paper, complete with lots of photos. I was slightly disappointed that the book didn't really provide "Buying and Selling Strategies" as I thought it would and as it promised. It did, however, show how one can truly outdo the S & P and even simple bullion buying. It described the really rare and valuable coins and what to look for. It even discusses commemoratives. All in all, I find this a valuable book for the serious coin collector and/or investor. It has a ton of information on numerous topics, including grading. It lacked an index, which would have made it more useful. Highly recommended. - Susanna K. Hutcheson
