Synopsis

Few books have excited the coin-collecting community like the Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States Coins. Since the first edition burst onto the scene in 1990, thousands of hobbyists have been searching for the rare die varieties described inside. This handy book tells you how to "cherrypick"--that is, how to examine coins that look normal at first glance, but have unusual characteristics: doubled and tripled dies, overdates, repunched mintmarks, and other features that can reveal a common coin to be a rare and valuable variety. With the close-up photographs and descriptions inside, you'll learn exactly what to look for. That kind of knowledge truly is power!

The book is the result of many years of cumulative research and finessing by the lead authors, Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton, in cooperation with many collectors, scholars, dealers, and others in the numismatic community. It presents information unavailable in any other single source.

Volume 1 includes:

• Descriptions of die varieties for half cents, large cents, small cents, two-cent and three-cent pieces, and nickels, 1800s to date
• Fully updated and revised information for some of the most popular U.S. coin series, to include Indian Head cent, Flying Eagle cent, Lincoln cent, two-cent pieces, Buffalo nickel, Jefferson nickel, Shield nickel, and Liberty Head nickel series
