"Facinating Facts, Mysteries & Myths About US Coins" Rating: 
Posted By:  Stan Date Posted:  2009-11-15 20:32:38
Comments:  Not too facinating. Boring, limp. Author fails to mention V.D. Brenner had a long European name. Un forgivable.

Comments:  Excellent introduction to the subject. New collectors especially will appreciate the down-to-earth style, and the author's enthusiasm for all things numismatic. Well done!

Comments:  Very interesting and informative from beginning to end - loved the history and the tie in to the coins I already collect. I think this would probably be a great read for non-collectors too

Comments:  Ijust finished reading this book. The author has paid attention to detail. It is fun to read how these coins have myths and stories around them that aren't generally known. This book is a good way to introduce numismatics to a younger generation. It also would be a nice holiday gift. I plan to order additional copies to give as gifts to our coin loving friends. What a history!
