Which is a better reference book, Cherry Pickers or Strike It Rich with Pocket Change, when it comes to illustrations?
I'm afraid you will likely get many of the same responses including from me. Photos or not, not many people here will likely not recommend Strike it Rich for much of anything. Regardless of illustrations I consider this book to be a detriment to our niche of error collecting. Let's see what the others have to say.
I own copies of both books. Definitely prefer cherrypickers. However I like that I can find something in Book A, and then look at book B for a different picture (for better or worse). Anything that'll help me find the oddity .
