As the old saying goes, "find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck". Now Kenneth Bressett, former president of the American Numismatic Association, has written the definitive reference to finding just exactly how lucky you might be. From how to get started to how to care for a collection, with full explanations of grading techniques and standards, coin prices, and values, The Golden Book of Coin Collecting addresses everything clearly and with thorough detail. Squarely aimed at the newcomer to coin collecting, this is a guide that covers all the different aspects of coin collecting -- and in doing so brings a fun and potentially lucrative hobby home to readers everywhere.
