(Also available in a less expensive black and white edition.)RECENTLY UPDATED (Aug. 2018)! A personal memoir by a hobbyist who started collecting U. S. coins in the 1950s from pocket change and gradually expanded into Lincoln Cent die varieties and world, ancient, and medieval coins. Includes the author's experiences at coin shows and his involvement with a large collection assembled during the 1930s. Often amusing and educational, these stories touch a wide range of topics - including the psychology of collecting. By the author of Irish Hammered Pennies of Edward IV - Henry VII, The 'Archaic Smile' and Greek Coins, Ancient Animals and Their Coins, The Early Coins of Athens, numerous articles in The Celator: Journal of Ancient and Medieval Numismatics, Great Women of Imperial Rome, Commodus and the Five Good Emperors, and much more.
