johnstac Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 08/05/2010 11:25 pm I googled this and found that there was actually someone who perhaps was going to write this but never did. In any case, can anyone recommend a book describing varieties and things to look for on common coins? It doesn't have to be exclusively about common coins but as I search rolls, it would be nice to know what to look for on all common coinage. Report this Post to the Staff

Zombieswat New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 08/06/2010 03:19 am Look for the CherryPickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States coins I think there are two volumes broken up by denominations they're not exactly cheap either, like 30 bucks each I think Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 08/06/2010 07:27 am Cover price of each volume is $39.95. Not cheap, but a fantastic resource nonetheless. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/06/2010 11:23 am The CPG includes alot of coins that would be virtually impossible to find in circulation so that may be overkill, especially with 2 volumes. Something more suited to roll searching would be Ken Potter's Strike it Rich with Pocket Change. Report this Post to the Staff
omahaorange Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 08/06/2010 6:58 pm I agree with biookemist6. Inexpensive, easy to read. One of the first books I bought when I started collecting. Report this Post to the Staff
johnstac Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 08/14/2010 05:51 am Thanks for those fine recommendations. I bought them both. Cherrypickers 2008 hardback for $26 and Strike it Rich with Pocket Change 2009 for $12. I love Amazon prime with free shipping. I only saw one version of the CherryPickers Guide. There was one in 2006 that was spiral bound and 2008 is the hardback. Report this Post to the Staff
