Cherrypickers’ Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States Coins
Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Half Cents to Jefferson Nickels, by Bill
Fivaz and J.T. Stanton, 2009, 365 pages, $39.95. The hybrid binding,
spiral protected by hardcover, makes this a tool for the bourse
floor. The page layout delivers plenty of white space for notes and
marginalia. Each entry is tagged for its “Pickup Points” rarity
(Bowers, Sheldon), interest rank, Red Book variety, pocket change and
Young Numismatist discovery opportunities. Appendices outline the
Minting process, suggest the best ways to send coins in the mail, and
coordinate the new and old Fivaz-Stanton numbering systems.
