<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3395111, member: 19463&quot;]For a dozen additional pages, I don&#039;t know if owners of the original edition will want this but I do recommend it, sight unseen, to anyone who does not have the old book.&nbsp; I really loved reading my copy.&nbsp; The Coin Week ad, however, included a line that left me wondering:</p><p><span style="color: #0080ff">Berk has pointed out that a good number of the 100 Greatest are readily collectible for $100 or less. Others are valued in the thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of dollars.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure any of the coins listed fall under $100 and question whether a &#039;good number&#039; are found under $1000.&nbsp; The book is a dream book boardering on reality only for a few among us.&nbsp; It is filled with great information but is a bit weak on the Greatest in bargain basement coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was so impressed by the first edition that I posted my favorites (of which a good number were under $100) and discovered I had something in common with Mr. Berk.&nbsp; Neither of us was able to limit ourself to 100 coin but showd several pages with backups or supporting examples of similar coins to the prime, numbered coin.&nbsp; It really, really is hard to limit oneself.&nbsp; Like they say in the potato chip ad: &quot;You can&#039;t eat just one (hundred)!&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favgroup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
