Dave Bowers' latest book is a must-read for anyone interested in US coins.

"Inside the Rare Coin Marketplace" goes beyond prices and projections. This new book covers each series, half cents to double eagles, with bright photos, rarity, what to look for.  Beginners and more advanced collectors can learn something.

Bowers has been a major force in numismatics for many years. His tales of excursions and his experience as a dealer make for interesting reading. Loaded with photos, he tells his story as only he could. His love for coins shines throughout.

I plan to spend a lot of time with this book. A definite keeper.
