[QUOTE="900fine, post: 988139, member: 6036"]Highly recommended ! It's very well laid out - year by year, not by deno ination, which helps the reader better understand what was happening at the Mint at the time. It's a terrific read even if one is not planning on purchasing a pattern anytime soon. Plus, it's a good buy. Many coin books are very expensive , but not this one. Don't be worried about a new book making the current copy obselete. The body of coins is static, and it's unlikely new varieties will be unearthed. Thus, the only "dated" are the prices, but that's OK. One would never rely on any book's pricing when considering purchasing a pattern; one would check a number of sources including recent auction records. Along those lines, the book's quoted prices tend to run a bit high, sometimes as much as 30%. Fortunately, they augment their quotes with some auction records.[/QUOTE]
