This concise introduction to collecting U.S. coins and paper money as a hobby discusses their volatile value, historical evolution, grading, errors, counterfeits, handling issues, and "slabs" (holders of graded coins). Descriptions for regular mint issues include year, quantity available by grade, and images sized to show details. The guide covers two-cent pieces to silver certificates, and includes a good list of annotated numismatic resources and references. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
