WORLD COIN BOOKS
There is an old saying in the coin hobby, "buy the book
before
you buy the coin". Related to it is another old saying
"Knowledge
is power". Knowing what to look for in a coin can save you
hundreds
of dollars - and perhaps even make you some money. There are
a
lot
of collectors out there that "cherry pick" dealers because they read
the
book and know what to look for.
