Best In-depth Flying Eagle/Indian Head Reference Guide

Rick Snow is without a doubt the foremost authority on the series. As a serious collector myself, this has become a well worn book for me in a short period of time. Rick presents suggestions on collecting each year's coin in both optimum circulated and uncirculated grades. He provides "snapshots" in history for each year of the series, which is fascinating and ties in well with the discussion on each coin. If you are only a casual collector, then it's likely a current Redbook will do you well. If you are fascinated by this series and want to dig deep into the history, striking characteristics and varieties of each coin, then Rick's book is a must have!

A must-have for all penny collectors!

This book was worth waiting for. It is comprehensive and easy to reference. A must-have for all penny (small cent) collectors.
