Table of Contents Few books have taken the coin-collecting community by storm like the Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States Coins. Since the first edition burst onto the scene in 1990, thousands of hobbyists have been searching for the rare die varieties described inside. This handy book tells you how to "cherrypick"that is, how to examine a collection of otherwise normal coins, looking for unusual characteristics: doubled and tripled dies, overdates, repunched mintmarks, and other features that can reveal a common coin to be a rare and valuable variety. With the photos and descriptions inside, you'll know exactly what to look for. That kind of knowledge truly is power! Inside you'll find: - descriptions of die varieties for half dimes through modern dollars, gold dollars through double eagles, and classic commemoratives
- values for nearly 700 unique varieties
- photo enlargements to show you what to look for
- information on types of doubling, how to examine your coins, Proof set varieties, and other specialized topics
- a complete cross-reference of the new and improved Fivaz/Stanton numbering system
"A visual treat, a feast of information, and a delightful read, all come together in the Cherrypickers' Guide. I cannot imagine collecting or understanding the topics covered here without a copy of this book near at hand."
from the foreword by Q. David Bowers
