    Problem with books that come out during a modern coin series' run is that the book seems out of date within a year or two. From a history perspective should be a good read.

    "Money does not care about speeches on morality. Capital asks whether the rules will remain the same tomorrow. With inflation, people assume price is the problem, and propose regulation—but price is simply the message." - Martin Armstrong

    honestly on first thought, a book about a series of coins that has not changed design hardly at all, got a little laugh out of me.


    I am sure there will be many interesting facts an insights, out side of that though...

    Every year or two they can come up with a revised and updated edition.

    Bingo ...what's the point ? At the risk of bringing down the wrath of the ASE lovers it's a big "why?" from this corner. I wonder how big chapter 4 is ?

    Yeah, you're right. Who needs to read books about Kennedys, Ikes, Morgans, Peace Dollars,... ? image

    I like the ASE's and the first thought that came to my mind was.... "WHY??????" It isn't a closed design (ie...it's still active). Not a lot has happened to it besides a yearly numeral change...sure, a few tiny changes in font or finish, but nothing to really write home about. Maybe an article in a magazine. Maybe even a 2-parter. But a book? Ummm...no.



    << <i>I'd love to read it !!! >>


    But, would you want to PAY to buy it in order to read it?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I (really and truly) hope that if it gets published, every microscopic die change is photographed and noted.

    (so I can look for errors of course)

    but also for history's sake.

    A book that covers the major changes and leaves the minor ones behind just seems incomplete to me.
