<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1838793, member: 41863&quot;]Yes that&#039;s the one that I am thinking of. To me that type book mainly had the mintages and just a basic Red Book description of everything with VERY general information on each series and things like strike quality and such. </p><p><br /></p><p>The better book to own and it&#039;s by Bowers is The Experts Guide to Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I expected the Type book to kind of guide you through picking and building a decent type set, instead it&#039;s more of a factual research book on each type more than a quality selection guide. The Experts guide actually does a much better job of guiding you through picking quality coins and has sections on most types from what I remember. Also there was a lot of additional info contained inside like Bowers&#039; main point on grading. Always buy the full details coins and look at everything on the coin and not remain focused on any one particular detail. Essentially look for all around solid coins and don&#039;t be duped by fancy names and designations verify things for yourself. </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, the Experts guide was what I was looking for and I would&#039;ve rather saved the $12-$15 I spent on that Type Coin book, seriously it&#039;s just an over glorified Red Book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
