Now Kenneth Bressett, senior editor of the Guide Book of United States Coins (the "Red Book") and former president of the American Numismatic Association, has written the definitive reference to finding just how lucky you can be as a coin collector. From how to get started in the hobby to caring for your collection, with full explanations of grading standards, coin prices, and how to buy and sell, the Whitman Guide to Coin Collecting addresses everything clearly and with easy-to-follow detail. Squarely aimed at newcomers, this is a guide that covers all the different aspects of coin collecting-and in doing so brings a fun and potentially lucrative hobby home to readers everywhere.
