About this title

Synopsis

One of America's most popular coin books, the Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties, Volume I, is now available in an updated Fifth Edition. Volume I covers all United States series from half cents through nickels. The book is a result of many years of cumulative research and finessing by the lead authors, Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton, in cooperation with many collectors, scholars, dealers, and others in the numismatic community. It presents information unavailable in any other single source.
Everything you ever wanted to know about rare die varieties can be found in the Cherry Picker's Guide to Die Varieties book series. With volumes I and II, you'll find a comprehensive guide for how to "cherry-pick," or sift through collections of normal-looking coins and find rare, sometimes valuable die variaties.
This is what some collectors live for; the chance to find a rare variety among seemingly ordinary collections. Find doubled or tripled dies, repunched or misaligned mint marks, overdates, or other die varieties. The Cherry Picker books not only explain what to look for, it shows you in high-resolution detail with large, close-up photographs of even the smallest of unusual marks you might find . . . so you know precisely what to look for while "picking."
