In the fourth edition of 100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins, distinguished numismatist Jeff Garrett and Scott Schechter take you on a personal guided tour of the most significant U.S. coins of the modern era. From humble Lincoln cents to costly American Platinum Eagles, each of the ranking coins was voted into place by rigorous research to determine which were worthy of being contenders for the 100 Greatest.
This revised and updated fourth edition features new additions to the list and dramatic - even surprising - changes in ranking. A new appendix shows how coins changed position on the list and explains the reasoning behind some of the most extreme changes. Inside you'll learn about these highly popular modern coins, as well as behind-the-scenes stories that illuminate how these particular coins became so desirable - and why they illustrate, better than any others, the high point of our nation's modern coinage.
Includes Foreword by Rhett Jeppson, introduction, grading information, history, certified populations and retail values for all coins, and much more
