A Guide To Making Big Money On Small Coins

No longer just a pleasant hobby, coin-collecting has become a dynamic industry in which coins are routinely sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars - and, with growing frequency, for millions. In Scott Travers’ Top 88 Coins To Buy And Sell, the man whom The New York Times called “the preeminent consumer advocate in the numismatic field” helps collectors and investors ferret out the coins that can bring them big money, and those that can’t.

In Top 88 Coins, Travers identifies 44 “winners” and 44 “losers” which collectors/investors should seek out or avoid, providing thorough explanations for his reasoning. He points out the perils and pitfalls of collecting, steering the unwary away from the many traps that lurk in the complicated numismatics marketplace.

Fully illustrated and featuring everything from early U.S. coins to those being minted today, Top 88 Coins To Buy And Sell is a unique and fun-to-read guide for collectors and investors.

Scott Travers, former vice-president of the American Numismatic Association, served as a coin valuation expert for the Federal Trade Commission and frequently appears as a coin expert on TV, radio, and in major financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Baron’s, and Business Week. He has written numerous books including The Coin Collector’s Survival Manual and One-Minute Coin Expert.
