<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3128696, member: 93702&quot;]My suggestion is that the goal of the book and the target audience should be agreed upon first... then a basic layout, basic idea on length, etc agreed prior to picking the content. </p><p><br /></p><p>So far I have read that this is for the new collector and that we should include price estimates.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a new collector this is something I would love to see:</p><p><br /></p><p>-Coins that are obtainable by someone with a basic budget. This does not mean that the “best” examples are under $200/$300 but reasonable examples are common enough that lower grade versions can be had at a price attractive to a new collector. Perhaps show examples of the higher and lower grades on a few of the coins – with price estimates?</p><p><br /></p><p>-Perhaps we simplify the coin section to 200 pages (as a starting point). 1 page per coin.. a picture of the coin, description of it’s significance, price estimate on a couple of different grades? An item # for each coin that can then be referenced in a nicely detailed Appendix at the back of the book.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Appendix could then have links to the many great websites out there to gather more information on each coin. Also links on how to attribute the coins, links to the history of the ruler, etc. This method would keep the book’s length reasonable. All of this information is out there.. but sometimes hard to find. This would be great for a new collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
