100 Greatest U.S. Coins

In the third edition of the best-selling and award-winning 100 Greatest U.S. Coins, numismatic author Jeff Garrett takes the reader on a personal guided tour of the nation's greatest coinage. "e;Each of the 100 Greatest was voted into place by leading coin dealers, researchers, and historians,"e; says Whitman publisher Dennis Tucker. Inside the reader will find prized and seldom-seen rarities - the unique and high-valued pieces that collectors dream about, like the 1913 Liberty Head nickel and the 1804 dollar (the "e;King of American Coins"e;). The book also explores more readily available and widely popular coins: pieces so beautiful or with such strange and facinating stories that everybody wants one.
