Editorial Review:Product Description:Some people hit the jackpot when they buy collectible coins; others lose a bundle. Scott Travers is the master at picking big winners and spotting real losers. The New York Times called him the "preeminent consumer advocate in the numismatic field." In short, he’s the expert that hobbyists and investors can trust.
• These 88 coins, 44 “winners” and 44 “losers,” show you how to tell what’s worth buying and what should be avoided
• Learn how to judge all the elements – big and seemingly small –that make some purchases smart and others downright dumb
• Fully illustrated, with examples from the earliest U.S. coins to those being minted today
• A unique and fun to read guide for every coin collector and investor
