100 Greatest U.S. Coins

The best-selling, award-winning 100 Greatest U.S. Coins takes the reader on a personal guided tour of our nation’s coinage. It's not just a price guide or a fancy picture book. It's a time machine that takes the reader to a hundred different points in American history. And it's a fascinating introduction to the hobby of collecting U.S. coins. The newly ranked coins of the sixth edition are both prized rarities and readily available, popular coins-from the unqiue high-valued pieces of collector's dreams, like the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel, to the 1909-S V.D.B. cent. The new sixth edition includes: - Foreword by William R. Anderson - Updated market values for all coins using Greysheet-based pricing and GSID numbers that identify and link a coin across the entire family of Whitman Brands products, such as the Greysheet online pricing tool, CDN Exchange, and the Greysheet mobile app. - Expanded Top 250 U.S. Coin Realized auction prices - And even more behind-the-scenes stories that illuminate how these particular coins became so great - and why they illustrate, better than any others, our nation's greatest coinage.
