Fun and lucrative both!

My childhood hobby of coin collecting has been revived by the state quarters program, and I am having a lot of fun with this! I casually bought this book because I decided to interest my niece in coin collecting. Being a financial investor, when I came across the section on the value of error coins, I got excited all over again. It is wonderful to have as much fun doing something in my 40's as I did during my childhood. My niece stays with me for two weeks this summer and I can't wait to show her my quarter collection and get her collection started. This is also a great way to educate her about the different states. The book has a web site with even more information, and web sites for each state are also listed. What a great educational tool!

Best new coins best new book

What a great book! It told me what coins to save out of circulation, and what the value is of errors that I can take out of pocket change. Even how Florida can design its coin for 2004. History, politics, and what the coins are worth. Who could ask for more!

Everything you wanted to know about State Quarters

Here it is: the definitive gudie to state quarters. How to collect them, what they're worth, how error designs were mdae (and what they are worth), what coins have been struck and what designs are being considered for future coins. The book is really two books in one, an essay covering the origins and history of the state quarter program (with chapters on ivnestment, grading, errors, and how your state can design a coin to fit into the setries), and the second half is a catalogue covering each state in similar analysis. There are other books that cover the subject, but none is as authoritative or as interesting.
