Does anybody here have a copy of this book?

I got a flyer for it in the Coin World magazine. Looks like a really cool book that I'm considering to buy. Just wanted to see if anyone here had one and what your opinion of it was before I bought it.

Yes I do. However, I always back it up with the PCGS Photo-grade on line. I also have the ANA, NGC, and many coin specific grading guides.

If you need a quick reference and are not near a computer or your Blackberry is out of juice; It's a good reference and is fairly compact.

I have to admit that I do prefer the coin specific grading books. There's a lot more dialog and specific detailed photos in those books than in the Coin World Guide. Forget it if you're going to try and grade VAMs with it.

If you're new to grading, wait till it comes on sale or find someone with an old one that thinks it's passe for him.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that not all coins are in this book, only the 25 top traded coins. Only gold coins are the double eagles.
