Default "A Guide Book of United States Type Coins" by Q. David Bowers

Received in the mail yesterday, direct from Whitman, QDB's new book. Still
trying to digest it.

One disappointment--bullion and commemorative coins are NOT in the book.

You really didn't expect bullion and commems to be listed in this book
- did you? I personally don't think of them when I think "type sets"
except of course if it's a commem type set (is there such a thing?)

Please do keep us posted on your review of this book, as I was considering
it also.

Pricey, but well worth the price of admission is the heavyweight
"Encyclopedia of US Commemorative Coins" by Q. David Bowers. My single
favorite book about coins. ;-)
