Like a lot of other collectors I've pretty much worn out my copy of "Cherrypickers Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States Coins." Loaded with illustrations, pictures and indepth content this is a guide to keep next to wherever you dump your change at night. Clear and concise, the Cherrypickers Guide is required reading for anyone scouting out pocket change for error and varietal coins.
