<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jallengomez, post: 2108701, member: 19748&quot;]I have mixed emotions about the book. Did it get people interested? Yes, and that&#039;s a good thing. However, an &quot;A&quot; for effort doesn&#039;t quite cut it with me when the research was at best sloppy, and at worst intentionally deceptive as a way for the author to promote sales of these coins(many of which were faKe or not what he claimed they were) in all the coin magazines that were in vogue during his time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, there are too many out there who actively try to discourage people from collecting legitimate &quot;error oddities&quot;. The idea of anyone trying to tell another collector what they should and should not collect is bizarre. I&#039;ve seen many a dramatic die break that had much more visual appeal than the run-of-the-mill tilted serif RPM, and yet there are well-known variety experts who will scoff at the mention of saving or (heaven forbid) paying a premium for a die crack. I think people should be encouraged to collect what they like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
