Book Description
Book Description
Every coin collector has to start somewhere -- The New York Times Guide to Coin Collecting provides a wealth of information in one concise, but detailed, and thoroughly entertaining book that illuminates:
* How coins are made
* A
history of striking techniques, and a look at the U.S. Mint today
* Coin grading: what to look for, and how to obtain professional certified grading
* Where to buy them: the Internet, coin shops, auctions, and places to find great deals
* How to
properly care for a coin collection
* The whole spectrum of collectible coins, from novelty items and children's coin collections to high-end, extremely rare collections.
Additional features include profiles of ten historic U.S. coins, a glossary
of coin terms, and a bibliography of essential reading. For both seasoned coin collectors and readers who just picked up their first Statehood Quarter, this book is bound to prove more valuable than a rare coin.
