What an unusual book this was. Although this is not something I would normally read it has been quite interesting. Until I got this book I had no idea that you could make money from coins with errors on them.
My 10 year old devoured this book! My 7 year old has had a lot of fun with it as well. Apparently this topic is fascinating to children. Both kids have gone through every coin we have in the house and sure enough they found two of the ones mentioned in this book. It has fun to read something with the kids and talk with them about it.

As a coin collector, I found this book and decided to try it. There was definitely some varieties that I had not heard of or seen, but most of this book was about double die and mintmark errors, which. I suppose could be useful, but if you are roll hunting you should know the spots to check for doubling. Also, a good chunk or errors listed are worth $15 or less. However, I would absolutley recommend for a newer collector.
