Whitman Releases Expanded, Updated Second Edition of Coin Inheritance Book
(Atlanta, Georgia) — Whitman Publishing announces the release of the expanded, updated second edition of Cash In Your Coins: Selling the Rare Coins You’ve Inherited, by Beth Deisher.
The first edition, published in June 2013, won the Numismatic Literary Guild’s “Best Specialized Book on Numismatic Investments” award for 2014, and a first-place nonfiction award from Ohio Professional Writers. The second edition is expanded with 16 additional pages, updated case studies, a new chapter on taxes, new illustrations, and more.
Deisher wrote Cash In Your Coins to inform and protect the hundreds of thousands of Americans who already collect coins, and those who will someday inherit their collections.
Coin collecting is a popular national pastime, and Deisher says, “It seems almost every American family has a stash of ‘old coins’ passed down through the years.” The hobby’s popularity is not new: Whitman Publishing has sold more than 23 million copies of its annual Guide Book of United States Coins (the “Red Book”) since 1946.
Valuable coins might be archived in safe-deposit boxes; they could be tucked away in Grandpa’s cigar box. They might compose a carefully arranged collection—or sit jumbled in a disorganized hoard. Cash In Your Coins answers questions that inheritors often ask: “How rare are these coins? What are they worth? Should we sell? Where would we even begin?”
Author Beth Deisher is an award-winning journalist and retired editor of Coin World, the premier news weekly for collectors. For more than 30 years she has answered the questions above. In Cash In Your Coins, she guides readers through the process of making sense of their coins, and making smart decisions when they sell.
Q. David Bowers (research editor of the Red Book) says, “With Beth Deisher’s guidance you’ll avoid costly mistakes and make decisions about your coins with more confidence.”
In addition to giving confidence to tomorrow’s inheritors, Cash In Your Coins gives comfort to today’s collectors. They can keep a copy of the book alongside their collection, knowing it will be there to give their heirs profitable knowledge and advice.

Reader Comments: What People are Saying about Beth Deisher and Cash In Your Coins
“A national expert on numismatics.” — The Bellefontaine Examiner
“A professional consultation yielding the same information would likely cost many hundreds of dollars and might not be as comprehensive. With Beth Deisher’s friendly guidance and expertise you’re sure to avoid costly mistakes, find the greatest value in your coin collection, and feel comfortable and secure with your newfound knowledge.” — Q. David Bowers, author of more than 50 best-selling numismatic books
“If you are inexperienced in the world of numismatics and coin collecting, this book may save you or your heirs from making a drastic mistake and liquidating your collection at a fraction of its actual value.” — James Bucki, About.com
“Nicely done. . . . it does address its intended audience well—the non-numismatists who may inherit a collection. It pays to do your homework, and this book provides a number of helpful hints. . . . I found the section on calculating melt value very helpful. The book is quite affordable and a bargain for the right readers, who could save a hundred times the cover price by following its advice and avoiding a disposition disaster.” — Wayne Homren, The E-Sylum
“Cash In Your Coins provides readers with a fine survey of understanding the value and possibilities of coins they’ve inherited. . . . Beth Deisher teaches the basics of identifying coins, creating an inventory, and valuing a large estate in a strong pick recommended for any library’s reference section.” — “The Antiques/Collectors Shelf,” Midwest Book Review
“More than a book; Cash In Your Coins is a blessing. You benefit from Beth Deisher’s years of experience, without having to sift through volumes of books to learn it.” — Michael Nottelmann, “Coin Show Radio”
“A clear and understandable guide to selling coins for the non-collector. This book will be a useful resource for anyone who inherits coins.” [Awarded first place, “Nonfiction Books for Adult Readers,” 2014 Communications Contest] — Ohio Professional Writers
“Deisher’s newest book is for those who don’t know much about the coins they have and would like to learn how much they’re worth and where to sell them.” — Peak of Ohio
“Readers armed with Beth Deisher’s book familiarize themselves with the lay of the land, the vocabulary, the players, dealing with dealers, and ways of determining and receiving appropriate value for their collectibles.” — Fred Reed, editor, Paper Money Magazine
