Check List and Record Book of United States and Canadian Coins

 

The 268-page Check List and Record Book of United States and Canadian Coins is a convenient way to keep track of your coin collection. Its 6 x 9 inch size packs a large amount of information into a handy resource that you can carry in a pocket or bag, or store in a safe deposit box. Collectors take the book to coin shows and shops while they re on the hunt for new numismatic acquisitions. Check each box as you add a coin to your collection or upgrade to a better specimen. The book also has room to write notes on when and where various coins were bought, their grades, pricing, and any other information you want to record.

 

The Check List and Record Book features actual-size illustrations of each coin type, complete mintage records for circulation-strike and Proof coins, and coin-by-coin listings of every date and mint. The coins covered include U.S. half cents through gold double eagles, 1790s to date; classic and modern commemorative coins; government-issued commemorative sets; Proof sets and Mint sets; Canadian coins from the 1850s to date; and silver, gold, and platinum bullion coins. There are sections to keep track of collections of Hard Times tokens; Civil War tokens; other tokens and medals; Hawaiian coins; Puerto Rican coins; coins struck for the Philippines under U.S. sovereignty; misstrikes and error coins; and American Arts gold medallions. The Canadian chapters cover large cents; small cents; five-cent pieces; silver and modern coins; commemorative issues; dollar coins; and bullion pieces.

 

Keeping an accurate inventory of your coins is one of the most important things you can do as a collector, says Whitman publisher Dennis Tucker. Not only does it help you organize and build a better collection, it can also be useful for tax and insurance purposes, and as a valuable record for your children and grandchildren to learn about your collection.

 

This Check List and Record Book covers coins and coin sets up through 2015, with extra space to keep track of later coins.
