The Official 2002 Blackbook Price Guide to U.S. Coins, 40th edition (Official Blackbook Price Guide of United States Coins)

Rating:
Summary: Great Book for the Beginner or Advanced Collector!
Review: I read an outdated 1992 version of this book when I first began collecting coins. It was invaluable in my search for decent well-priced, honest-graded coins. I think that anyone who wants to find the value of their coins, ar just learn a little about the hobby, shod read this book.

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive, but not very fine
Review: This is a comprehensive book on the subject of coin grading, and much of the information I am looking for is here. But they don't list all the conditions you would expect to find. A typical coin might have good, fine and extra fine, but lack very good and very fine. So what is a very fine coin worth, halfway between fine and extra fine? Darned if I know.
