Hi ND,
I am also interested in your book. I also am a new collector learning about cleaning, what can be cleaned and how without damaging the coin, grading, and most especially trying to determine what is considered a mint error or abuse from handling by previous owners. I like collecting all sorts of coins, so I don't have any favorites...yet. Those that I have seen posted by other members on the forum are really beautiful and I sure wish I had...oh well,...some day. I can wait. I'm patient.
Anyway, looking forward to your book. When your book is finished, will it be for sale in book stores? Thank you. God Bless.

My collection is for for my enjoyment and not for selling, [they will be passed on to my future grand babies, if my son ever decides to make me a grand ma.] :)

The book will be available at all major book stores along with specialty stores like coin shops. Other than my publisher being a complete idiot, things are moving well. The whole reason that I embarked upon this project was to help the new collector. Learning the subtle differences in cleanings takes studying many coins over and over again. While no book can teach it all, it is my sincere hope that at least it will give a basic understanding. A baseline if you will. Too often, dealers ignore the new collector. The authors of the coin books seem to follow this same logic. It is as if they were born with this knowledge and expect others to be the same. Since we know this to be different, I am gearing this book towards the average collector who wants to understand how cleanings look and why they effect the value of the coin so much.

Which is why your book will be such a benefit to the numismatic community. Let's face it, a very large part of that community is made up of new or uneducated collectors. Any form of help that can be offered to them is a great benefit.
