- Primarily, this book will appeal to coin collectors, although you don't need to collect coins to wonder whether the change in your pocket might include a rare, and perhaps valuable, error penny, nickel, or dime. Written in a clear and engaging style, "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change" is appropriate for readers from 8 - 80. The text is laid out in a concise and logical sequence so that specific information is easy to find. Information is included for coin issues only up to 2009, and an updated edition is needed. Most people who order this book will know that they are unlikely to "Strike it Rich with Pocket Change." The reason some of these coins are valuable is because many are exceedingly rare (1969-S, doubled die Lincoln Cent, only one known). There are, however, ample examples of errors that can be commonly found in change (value $2 - $5). If the "hunt" is part of the enjoyment, this book, used as a "trusty guide", can provide hours of entertainment. It is not a book to be read, and then discarded, but, rather a reference that can be consulted time, and time again. For me, the book underscored how there are many coins with extremely small errors floating around in every day pocket change. For instance, looking at the reverse of the Lincoln Memorial cent under magnification you might notice that the detail of the Memorial has been doubled, or even tripled, creating additional upright supports for the building. This falls into the category of minutia for me, and is too small, and too minute, even under magnification, that searching for it feels a lot like "work." After reading about the 1974-D, doubled die Kennedy Half, I noticed an example for sale and purchased it for $20, in an unopened Mint Set. With that purchase, the book paid for itself. There is a ton of information included in this book and it could be very helpful, even valuable to readers from more than just the numismatic community. If the thrill of the hunt is what you crave, and the potential for real (but unlikely) reward for your efforts, then this is the book for you.
- When looking for an error (that has value) you must be able to determine what kind of error it is in the first place. I just started accumulating what was being sold at auction on E bay that claimed were errors or varieties. Take doubling, as in "Doubled Dies" not Double Dies which indicates a lack of understanding. Until I read the sample of this book, I purchased Two coins that were what is known as "Mechanical Doubling" not collectible, unless just to compare. Had they been of high value, I'd be stuck with coins that were not what they appeared to be and worthless. Fortunately they were not the popular types with high prices. This book shows you with photos where to look, what to look for, the value at the time of printing which helps to understand how coins values increase and decrease according to the market and supply and demand. Overall this is a book that before you start buying coins that bare the attribution of error or variety you should own.
I am a man who doesn't always read instructions being in my late forties and having put many things together successfully. That being the case, this book put me back to looking before leaping mode. And has paid for itself and more.
Roger - good product and a great price, fast shipping. you cant go wrong with books. it has a lot of information about everyday pocket change. turn your pennies into nickles. this book has a lot of cool info, its like having the internet at your fingertips, just like a laptop, but slower, much, much more slower.
very good book, i recommend it to all coin collector's and want to be coin collectors. - Okay, can I say I just love this book.

Has other information on certain eisenhower, susan b. Anthony sacagawea, and presidential dollars, but not much. The book is pretty useless for me with the earlier coins i have in my collection and any older or recent date coins i may come across. Although it reviews different cases of the types of errors you might come across, a pleasing layout and in-depth details are lacking. Overall i am very disappointed with this book.
- This book has been a big hit with my son, who collects coins.
It has a lot of information about everyday coins, strikes that were done wrong,
glitched coins, etc etc.
He has already found that one of his nickels is worth $15 because of a casting error.
That paid for the book!
Great for those who are interested in coins or are beginning collectors. It helps you keep your eye out for money!
