They sit in a jar because you do not want to spend something valuable by mistake, and you do not want to get your hopes up over a coin that has simply been damaged. This book settles it one coin at a time. You rule out damage before you get excited, then you price every keeper from a record you can actually open and check, so a good find never slips back into circulation and a scratched cent never fools you into celebrating.What This Book Helps You Actually DoTell within about a minute whether a coin is worth a closer look or worth spending, before you lose an afternoon to itRun the before you get excited damage check that stops you celebrating a coin that was scratched, ground, or squeezed after it left the mintKnow what actually turns up in today's pocket change and bank rolls, not just the famous 1955 and 1943 coins you will probably never find in circulationRecognize the four error types nobody photographs well, wrong planchet, repunched mintmark, rotated die and machine doubling, each given a technical diagram of exactly what deviates, beside a real photo of the correct standard coin; where no clean, legally usable photo of that error exists, the page says so instead of faking itPrice every keeper from a living auction record you can look up and re-check yourself, instead of a printed table that is stale the day it printsKeep a simple running log of your suspect coins, so nothing worth money slips back into circulation by accidentWhat You Get105 pages, printed in full color: the close-up photograph and the technical diagram side by side on the page, the sixty-second check laid out as steps you can follow with the coin in your hand, and the log to fill in as the jar empties.And When a Coin Finally Passes the CheckThe closing chapters take it from there: how to describe what you are holding in the words the hobby actually uses, how to find what comparable coins have recently sold for, and how to recognize the moment when the honest answer is face value, spend it. A jar gets sorted into three piles, and you will know which pile each coin belongs in.For Hunters Who Are Tired of GuessingWhat you get is a clear, repeatable method you can run yourself, and values that always point back to a record you can open and verify. You stop waiting on strangers online to tell you what you are holding. You start deciding for yourself, coin in hand, in the time it takes to pour a cup of coffee, and you keep deciding long after the last page, because the method does not expire.Even if you have already posted a coin on a forum and waited days without a clear answer, this puts the check back in your own hands. Pour out the jar, open to the damage check first, and find out what you have actually been holding onto.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/254/9798192547717_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "21.99", "online_price" : "21.99", "our_price" : "21.99", "club_price" : "21.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
