It merely featured a picture of each coin type ever made by the US Mint in black and white and in actual size.</p><p><br /></p><p>What the book does have is a great appendix full of large photographs of key date coins, beautifully illustrating the prime focal point of each. The appendix was better than the book!!! Maybe the appendix should have BEEN the book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
