The Expert's Guide to Collecting and Investing in
Rare Coins
by Q. David Bowers
The Expert's Guide to Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins is a comprehensive insider's look at rare coins, tokens, medals, and paper money.

More than 1,300 photographs and illustrations, both black and white and in full-color galleries, complement the text.
