Very nice. Ebay shoppers can find it here:

100 Greatest US Error Coins

Anyone that hasn't seen the book care to guess the #1 error coin?
Hint #1: it shows a current retail value of $150K-$250K

I won't spill Fred's beans here but I will PM the correct guesser.

    I bought one over a week ago. I received it quickly. I have paged through it, but have not had time to read it properly.
    Fred was kind enough to personalize it for me. I like it very much. Many of the errors are unique and therefore
    I'm not likely to see them if they had not in this book. Thanks Fred!

    It's a cool book. Nicholas Brown is a great guy too. image

    I was at PCGS during the recent FUN show when Dave Hall was evaluating coins.

    I showed him a Oregon $5 lead die trial that he didn't know what to think of.

    He looked at me and said, "Do you have anything cool in that box??"

    I showed him this coin, #44 in the book - he was speechless for quite some time, then said, "Dang, that IS cool". image

    Thanks for all the kind words on the book.

    I also remind people that in addition to the
    100 coins (with lots of photos of 'em), there
    is a very informative Appendix showing some
    un-published photos of the Philadelphia Mint
    that were taken on one of our floor tours a
    few years ago, and sections on counterfiet
    errors, dies, other error types, etc.....

    Yes, if anyone wants it autographed by me,
    I'm honored to do it, but please specify so.

    Some collectors want it signed to them by
    name, and some just want it with no name,
    for a later sale, I suppose....

    Just say you'd like it signed to your name,
    or without a salutation.
