How can I not like this book?

Even though it is only an appendix in the "Guide Bood to the Red Book" about collecting the series, there are great finds to be made in early editions.

There is no better source for wholesale valuing of a coin collection. Ken Bressett maintains his high quality throughout.

To small of print on value of coins



Values of coins was to small to be readable so it was of no value to me to seek the most important reason for buying this book
