Cherrypickers’ Guide: 5th Edition, Volume II
Autographed by Ken Potter - Editor

Autographed by Ken Potter

     Whitman Publishing has released a new, expanded, and updated volume of the award-winning Cherrypickers’ Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States Coins. The fifth edition, volume II, covers half dimes to silver and modern dollars, plus gold dollars through double eagles, commemoratives, and bullion. It will be available in November 2011, online (including at www.Whitman.com), and from booksellers, hobby shops, and coin dealers nationwide, for $39.95. 
    Longtime die-variety specialist Ken Potter has joined the Cherrypickers’ team as editor of the new volume, working with the book’s original creators, Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton.
    “Cherrypicking” involves examining coins that look normal at first glance, but have unusual characteristics (like doubled and tripled dies, overdates, and repunched mintmarks) that can reveal a common coin to be a rare and valuable variety. The Cherrypickers’ Guide includes close-up photographs and descriptions to guide the reader, plus market information and values in multiple grades, for more than 780 varieties. Appendices include essays on types of doubling, how to examine your coins, Proof set varieties, collector clubs, recommended reading, and other beginner and advanced topics.
    Accurate pricing was an important goal for editor Ken Potter. “We coordinated our pricing with input from dealers, collectors, and other hobby experts and specialists,” said Potter. “For each variety we studied retail prices, coin-show activity, and real-world auction results, in detail, in order to report the most accurate values possible.”
    The new volume is 32 pages longer than the fourth edition, with more than 100 new varieties. “Most of the additions are within the popular modern series,” said Whitman publisher Dennis Tucker. “We have new Mercury dimes, more than a dozen each of new Roosevelt dimes and Kennedy half dollars, two dozen new Washington quarters, including State and National Park varieties, and new modern dollars. The entire bullion section is new, covering silver, gold, and platinum coins. And we’ve included additional varieties in the older coinage series, as well.”

With Pocket Change

Error Coins Bring Big Money
by Ken Potter & Dr. Brian Allen
Fourth Edition
Autographed by Ken Potter!


Autographed by Ken Potter

    Have you ever knowingly spent $100 on a candy bar or $50 on a soft drink? As ludicrous as the concept sounds, the authors, Ken Potter and Dr. Brian Allen suggest that there is no doubt you have unintentionally done this numerous times without even knowing it, contending that there are just as many valuable coins in circulation today as there were 50 years ago. As more collectors and general coin enthusiasts are drawn to the treasure-hunt appeal of error and variety coins, interest in everyday coins is increasing as people take a closer look at the change in their pocket.
    The U.S. Mint's popular state, territorial and America The Beautiful quarter programs and the introduction of the Westward Journey nickels (in 2004-5) and a new dollar coin series has produced new discoveries and has generated greater attention and interest from the public.
    Thus the need for an updated version of this book, which helps make sense of it all and gives greater meaning to phrases including "Doubled Die," "Repunched Mintmark," "Double Edge-Lettering," "Misaligned Clashed Die" and "Die Dents." 
    In this new edition of Strike It Rich with Pocket Change readers learn about the different types of errors and varieties and how to spot them in varying types of coins, using the unique and useful combination of nearly 1000 photos and illustrations comparing properly minted coins with their error counterparts. In addition, the authors' insights help dispel common myths about error and variety coins.
    Among the coins included in the listings are Lincoln Memorial cents, Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, John F. Kennedy half dollars, state quarters and all the dollar coins issued since the Eisenhower dollar through the current Presidential dollars. While the listings focus on the more valuable rare coins, the principles discussed throughout this book can be applied when researching and inspecting any coin for possible errors.

Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia
of U.S. and Colonial Coins
 

Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins (754 pgs.!!) Everybody should own this massive textbook! We now have a used copy of this high-demand hard to find book!  It is essentially near-mint.  However, as many of these books from one of the later printing were, it has a section of the book that is not bound (glued) into the binding as well as it should have been.  However, other than just three or four pages, the entire section (and all others) are very tight.  While not a flawless, near-mint copy, it is far better than some ragged copies that I've seen that are falling all apart and held together with rubber bands and still being offered in the $150 range!  Very Nice Used Copy (Near Mint) $150.00

Treasure Hunting in the Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cent Series (pocket size book) by Kevin Flynn $24.95



Here is a look at a couple of pages from the book

"When you stop to think about it -- finding just one coin that is listed in this book
-- will pay for the book many times over!"

The Quick Reference to the Top Lincoln Cent Die Varieties by Wagnon, Peterson, Flynn.  This neat spiral bound 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" pocket book contains 144 pages crammed full of the pertinent information needed to identify and price what what the authors feel are the top Lincoln cent varieties (there are a few more than 100 listed in this book).
    By eliminating most of the typical introductory type chapters that are often included in larger format books (such as those that go into great detail diagnosing how varieties are created,  how to tell die doubling apart from lesser forms of doubling, etc.), this book cuts past the repetitive clutter and delves right into the variety listings.
    Additionally, by reducing text size and the wise cropping images, the authors were able to present images at a size that are large and easy to view -- showing every single variety to best advantage.  In fact, most of the images in this book are far superior to the tiny images found in the Cherrypickers' Guide To Rare Die Varieties!  In effect, it is an excellent companion to the CPG where a collector wants to get a better look at what many of those varieties really look like -- plus it includes some better varieties missed in the CPG!  When you stop to think about it -- finding just one coin that is listed in this book -- will pay for the book many times over!
    Each variety includes a brief description of what it is and what to look for, Wexler listing numbers (for the most part), cross reference listing numbers to Cherrypickers' Guide and CONECA, a rarity guide, an ANACS population report, values and an additional comments section.
    This book was designed for easy carrying to conventions and shops where other larger format books become cumbersome and heavy to lug around.  It's the type of book you can throw into your suite coat pocket (or the back pocket of you jeans) and forget it's there until you need it!   Covering varieties spanning from 1909 through 1997, the regular retail price on this book is $24.95.   It is now out-of-print and getting hard to find.
    We have purchased one of the author's entire remaining supply and will offer the book at a discount until the supply grows low (at which point we will raise it to $24.95 again).
