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! This one is price cheap at $200.00 only because of this one flaw in binding. Otherwise it is a about as close to "new" as one could ask for. $200.00

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). $17.95

error coins are produced can be found within the pages of this book! Note: I
am particularly proud (and more importantly -- consider myself honored) to
have been asked to write the Forward to this book for the second edition in a
row and to have supplied four of the six
photos use on the front cover! I was also privileged to help edit the book
in its entirely and write some of the new chapters for the book! I'd like to extend a big "Thank You!"
to Alan Herbert for the honor. This book could have easily been printed on more
expensive stock, with hard-covers and a slightly larger font size (to make is span over
500 pages); and offered it at triple the price! Instead, Herbert chose to have
it produced on more economical stock with soft covers by one of the big book publishers
resulting in a price level anybody can afford! Soft cover, 6" x 9-1/4"
