Publisher's Note Since its first publication in 1980, The World of Coins and Coin Collecting has been the complete guide to contemporary numismatics that collectors and investors repeatedly turn to. This award-winning book, now completely revised and expanded, covers important, significant developments in coin collecting during the last quarter century, and devotes the same careful attention to historical detail and how to collect coins that has made it an important addition to public and private libraries. (Originally published by Charles Scribner's Sons, ISBN 0-684-18238-6.) Heavily illustrated chapters explain how to build, organize, and display a coin collection; the evolution of coinage and tokens; the art of the medallion; and the recent interest in exotic paper money. The appendices, with updated address information, list museums, coin clubs, and periodicals devoted to coins. They also include a descriptive recommended reading list.
