The result is a no-holds-barred look at todays evolving market that is indispensible to experienced collectors and investors as well as neophytes.Included is an extensive price history of all United States coins from 1955 to date, with notable auction results and listings of key dates. The numerous charts of data and illustrative graphs interspersed throughout will be useful to dealers and collectors alike in forming strategies to take advantage of what will be one of the great growth areas of the 21st century.
