1. It says all countries are listed, yet they are not. And those that are listed do not have all their coins. I found only one or two of the twenty or so I was looking for.

5 comments about Statehood Quarter Folder No.1 : 1999-2001.

1. This folder is fantastic... with one exception: I can't locate a copy of book #2. Who wants to collect only books 1 and 3? Do not buy this book unless you have already located the subsequent folders.



2. If you truly want to collect these coins you ought to have representatives of each mint. Besides, it adds to the challenge of collecting. I live in the North East and rarely find a coin from Denver. But when I do it's a gem! These books are very simple, as is with all Whitman coin folders. It keeps the coins neatly in place for safe keeping and future viewing. If these are the qualities you're looking for, then this is the folder to buy.



3. This folder is good for the adult collector, but I would not recommend it for younger persons. It is nice that there are slots for both the Philadelphia and Denver mints. However, this folder contains absolutely no information about the individual designs of the state quarters. One of the most interesting things about collecting these quarters is learning the history behind the state designs. In comparison to other state quarter collection books, this folder is bland.

5. I was disappointed with this folder. I have become interested in collecting the Statehood Quarters and wanted a folder in which to keep them as they are issued. However, with this folder it is necessary to collect quarters from both the Denver and Philadelphia mints - something I was not interested in doing. Unfortunately, unless you collect both sets, half of the folder is left empty. I wish they would have made separate folders for each mint instead of combining them as they have.

4 comments about The Official Red Book of Morgan Silver Dollars 1878-1921: America's Most Popular Classic Coins.

1. As someone new to the world of numismatics (but interested in Morgans) I was a bit confused by all the varieties, mintmarks, etc. This book explained everything to me. The history is quite fascinating. I am looking forward to getting my first "CC". Overall, a very heplful and well written book.



2. Earning my living from numismatics, I can't afford to miss reading just about any book from the field of numismatics. So, I set myself down for some boring reading since I just hate Morgan dollars. But I was engrossed. Mr Bowers is a capable author as well as a famous numismatist. The history of all U.S. dollars is covered in brief, and then the history of why the Morgan dollar was even minted in the first place. Continues with how the original dies were made and includes portions of letters and notes from the people actually involved. There's intrigue, double-crossing, mystery, and so forth -- all in a reference book about one particular coin. You'd just never expect it. Of course, the remainder of the book deals with minting the coins and then a blow-by-blow for each date and mint in the series.



3. This book gives a concise desription of both the historical development of Morgan Silver Dollars as well as pratical information in determining the highlights of each Morgan Silver Dollar according to the chronological year. The book is informative and descriptive in its interpretation of the Morgan Silver Dollar. Most important the reading isn't dry but keeps you intrigued, especially the historical data associated with the Morgan Silver Dollar Series. The book is well written and definitely an addition to any numismatic literary collection.



4. The best information and historical reference of the Morgan series I have read in years!

2 comments about The Patti Playpal Family: An Unauthorized Guide to 1960s Companion Dolls (Schiffer Book for Collectors).

1. But not nearly as much as I was hoping to learn. The book is attractive with its many color photographs, but there just isn't much 'meat' to it, I'm afraid. Very disappointing.



2. As a lover of the large dolls of the 1950's, 60's and 70's this book is a welcome addition to the world of doll collecting. The drawback is that any collector who wanders through Ebay and tracked sales over time in a spreadsheet could have done the same. Many of the photos in the book I had already seen and even bid upon! (Thus three stars) Nonetheless some of the dolls are truly pretty and beautiful.

   For the newcomer, this is a great primer to get you started. I am still waiting for the really definitive book on large "Walker" dolls. Until that comes out Ms. Cross will have to do.

1. Lo compré por ser barato (menos de 6 ó 7 dólares) y es un libro que no me sirve para nada. Lo peor, la edición, papel reciclado, y la tinta, la peor que ví.
   Toca mil puntos y todos por encima, fatal.
