The title of this long out of print book is so generic it can be somewhat misleading as to what’s in-store for the reader. I think a better title like, “A Trip Down Numismatic Memory Lane,” would have said so much more. The book covers the often overlooked side of the history of collecting coins in America, and what the forces were which caused its popularity through the years. Information like this you’ll never see in the “Red” of “Blue” books for coin collectors. You'll learn the names of the greats in the hobby and see some of the ads they ran back in the early days of coin collecting. For instance: F.C.C. Boyd – Year: 1930 – 1909 S VDB Lincoln Cents – Uncirculated 25c - If 25c was to low for a 09 SVDB then he was too high for the 1909 S without the VDB because that was also 25c. J. W. Scott’s – Silver Coin Catalog of 1906 – You could have purchased any date from 1929 to 1934 Bust Half dimes in Uncirculated at just 50c each. R. Green – an old Chicago co

The four series of 20th-century United States gold coins are, without question, the most popular and widely collected of all United States gold coins. Relatively few people have the interest, tenacity and wherewithal to try and complete series of other United States gold coins but a surprising number of people are currently at work on one or more of the 20th-century series. There are a number of valid reasons for this. First, the series are all relatively short. The Indian Head quarter eagle series consists of only 15 coins, the half eagle series just 24 coins. The Saint-Gaudens eagle and double eagle series, although somewhat larger, still contain only 32 and 54 coins respectively.A second factor is the attractiveness of the designs. The Bela Lyon Pratt designed quarter eagle and half eagle are very distinctive and unique among all United States coins with their incuse (sunken) devices; and, of course, the two Saint-Gaudens designs are generally considered to be among the most beautiful United States coins of any denomination ever issued.
