<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 3198109, member: 15019"]You can use an actual company like Amazon to publish whatever you want, the goal is to have the seal of approval of a recognized numismatic authority such as the ANA or whichever organization relates to the content of the book (US MNA for Mexican coins for example). We pretty much self-publish every time we post on forums and social media. That being said, a self-published book through a non-numismatic backed company does not automatically make it a bad book. As with any reference or guide, cross-reference. There are good ones out there where the author simply chose to do it themselves for the sake of simplicity.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I haven't read your book (don't specialize in US coins), but from your posts here I'd say it's clear you know what you're talking about.
