Collector Series: Coin Collecting – An Introduction to the World of Numismatics

Formerly titled Whitman Guide to Coin Collecting: An Introduction to the World of Coins and known by many as the “Yellow Book,” this is the first title to be rebranded and published under the new Collector Series™—your essential gateway into the fascinating world of collecting. This series provides comprehensive, up-to-date guidance on identifying, valuing, and caring for coins. Authored by industry experts, each book ensures enthusiasts can maximize both their enjoyment and investment.

New features include:

• Expanded table of contents with more preview information.

• New foreword by long-time coin collector and numismatic author Michael Garofalo.

• Indexed with the type collector in mind, organized to help the reader who has taken an interest in one particular type across multiple denominations (e.g., Barber coinage, or the many variations on Bust coinage).

• Revised Chapter 8, now called “Collecting with a Stated Purpose,” focuses on the newcomer who is ready to start building their collection, providing basic information on every circulating U.S. coin series, from early copper half cents and large cents to date.
