If so, how does it look? I have not seen any posts about the book, so I am curious how it looks in hand.

    I would be curious to know how good the Half eagles sections are. Does it do better on one series vs. another?

    Are you serious? Is all of their printing done in China?

    Ok Ok, I have it on my desk now and am flipping thru it. STILL nobody has pedigreed the 59-O Twentyimage . It's a good all around reference for US gold coins. Has some auction prices realized but nothing like a giant archive like what was done with the auction records book but it's decent nontheless. I'm going thru it right quick as I'm trying to get an oral surgeons appt for my Wife who is enduring what appears to be an infected wisdom tooth. Back atcha when done.

    I do agree that it should be a part of most gold coin collectors reference libraries. There's a cool little section on gold patterns image


    It's a nice date by date encyclopedia on US gold coins. Buy it!

    How is it for die varieties of early gold? (No, I cannot even begin to afford to collect these, BTW.)
