The author aims to spark and sustain collector development through their entire educational process from beginner to expert for those who collect coins for enjoyment, historical purposes, or financial gain.This book provides extensive coverage through its historical sections and grading methods for the author’s aims.The author addresses beginner confusion by organizing content into distinct sections which focus on coin types, grading scales, and counterfeit detection methods. Also, he presents the story with personal and passionate language, which makes the content more relatable to readers.

This book really helped me get started with coin collecting. The author explains everything in simple terms so you don't get confused by all the fancy coin words. I like how it shows pictures of different coins and tells you what they're worth. The tips about where to find coins and how to spot fake ones are really useful. Good value for the money and now I feel confident buying my first coins.

This book is pretty good and coin collecting enthusiasts (and those who may soon become interested in the hobby) will likely find some value (no pun intended!) in it. However, due to the wide range of information provided, I can imagine that there will be sections that readers are MUCH more interested in others.For example, as someone uninitiated in coin collecting, I found the section discussing assessing and grading coins to be interesting and would presume it would be VERY important information to serious collectors. On the other hand, the section on the most influential coin designers of all times seems like a bit of a reach outside of those with truly novel interests. There are many such sections throughout the book that seem less relevant to MOST collectors and only truly relevant to a select group.Overall, the organization and writing are good and there are a number of free bonuses included with the purchase of the book, adding additional value to it. Except your eyes to glaze over during certain sections, but there is a lot of "gold" (pun INTENDED!) throughout.

"I'm thrilled to have found this treasure trove of coin collecting knowledge! As a long-time coin enthusiast, I was impressed by the author's ability to cater to both beginners and seasoned collectors like myself.The comprehensive guide is packed with over 100 high-quality coin images, accurate values, and expert tips that have already helped me refine my collection. The proven strategies for buying, selling, and trading coins have been invaluable in taking my hobby to the next level.What sets this book apart is its accessibility and attention to detail. The author's passion for coin collecting shines through on every page, making this guide an absolute pleasure to read.Whether you're just starting out or, like me, have years of experience, this book is an essential addition to your coin collecting library. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to expand their knowledge, improve their collection, and join a community of like-minded enthusiasts.

The media could not be loaded. This book has a great cover and was rated as a “Best Seller” by Amazon so I went ahead and purchased it along with the official red book and blue book.Upon opening the book, I was a bit taken back by the formatting with large font and double spacing but figured the author might be trying to capture an older audience so I continued to flip through. There are minimal photos in the book besides stock photos and some QR codes can be found for the reader to scan and look up online. This completely defeats the purpose of me buying a book. Coin collecting knowledge can be found everywhere online but I prefer a book which is why I bought it. I don’t want to have to go and get my phone to look up a coin or reference other materials - I could have done that without bothering to purchase this book. In the least, the author could have provided some quality photos of a few key, “must have” or important coins to know.While flipping through, I stopped on an occasional page to read a few sentences to see if my initial reaction to the book was a bit too harsh but no…. Paragraph headers on one page with the subject paragraph on the other and half of page is blank so it was not for lack of room. There does not appear to be a personal perspective or any depth to the material just repetitive drawn out wordy points that don’t really say anything of substance and borders on patronizing. It very much seems like AI wrote this book and it was pieced together (in a disorganized manner) and put to print.If you are looking for a good reference book for a beginner, this is not it.
