Cherrypickers,a$$ pickers,nosepickers.......

librtyhead

This would be my take on the book.
(1) I have heard that some things in this book are vague.
(2) I have bought these 2 vol. to double check my stock
(3) I have not honestly checked my coins "to this book"
(4) I "collect coins"
(5) This book is used to check mint sets
(6) I am not a variations guy
(7) my first thought was "what dealer can I rip"
(8) my second thought was "where are all the shows"
(9) my third thought was "who else on this forum pays attention to this crap"
(10) .................the final thought..............and actual question here is..............
................as a collector,have you also used "cherrypickers guide" in your search for dif variations in your "set of choice"....................I know I need to double check things,but how many are scrambling w/their coins.................enquiring minds want to know!......................thank you for any input.

I don't know. As a person who prepaid for Volume 2 of the book, I still haven't received my book, despite all of the assurances J. T. made that those who prepaid would get their books first. Sorry to still sound pi$$ed off, but that's because after all this time, I'm pi$$ed off!

yes, I live off the book along with others, cherrypick many coins and do well off it. I do collect varieties, along with "regular" coins too.

I like to keep the book around for reference but I've settled into VAMs and have numerous references specializing in those varieties. . .

I have yet to receive mine, either. Although this latest delay is minor compared to the 3+ year wait caused by Mr Stanton, this one is the fault of Whitman publishing. They've lost a future customer because of it.
