5.0 out of 5 stars The most important numismatic book in the world., 4 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This is the ultimate book on American numismatics, and I use it almost every day. Walter Breen was the most dedicated researcher imaginable. There are hundreds of mistakes in the book, but there are millions of things he got right, so the errors are mostly insignificant. A++

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible. I wish something like this existed for my area.., 2 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Although I don't collect US coins I keep reading this book before going to bed for some time now. It is just incredible. What I love the most is his rather cynical tone and the fact that he has an OPINION about things and people. Seems to me this had nearly disapeared in anything written in US numimsatics... As I said, I wish I had a work like this for my area !

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST PROFESSIONAL REFERANCE AROUND, 13 Dec 1998
By A Customer
As a coin dealer by trade I find this book indispensable. Most truly RARE coins have a Breen #, so ask for this # when buying coins and you can get truly important information quickly and easily. This book however, is not for beginners, sorry.
