Daniel of CoinHELPu reviewing it...I haven't wanted a brand new coin book in a long time other than my newest Red Book and that one took me a bunch of years to want the newest one lol!
I can't find it anywhere yet...

    Yup thanks...that's actually Daniel's shop...it quickly sold out, there were only a large handful available to pre-order.
    If anyone finds where it shows up first... or Joseph P. Cronin likes amazing home made cookies...! We can work out a deal :smiley:

    Looks like a good book and every time someone finds a coin in a parking lot a mint error fairy should appear and hand them a copy!

    Yes kinda pricey ($80) but at the same time, very thick and many pictures. :)

    I think you mean "somewhere an English teacher are crying".

    Lol...My Mom was a high school English teacher, true.
    Well it's is correct if he's referring to just one printing run, sort of lol.
    But I'm not sure if he means that is the entire run or that's just how many he was able to offer.

    I don't trust any of these "greatest error" coin books because none of them have included my 2016 nickel struck over a 2015 nickel. :D

    That one truly is a great error. I never get tired of seeing it in your posts. Just incredible

    The author is a member over on Coin Talk. He seems like a pretty good guy and very knowledgeable. He owns lots of errors.

    Here is Joesph’s 2 page ad in Mint Error News Magazine, with more info on his fantastic book!

    It’s just a snap shot from the pdf in Mint Error News Magazine, and the print is small, but it gives you an idea about his book.
