This book is not factual - It is not accurate and full of misinformation. No factual accuracy. Totally inaccurate. Inaccuracy on almost every page.

The claim of 350 photos is misleading. There are only 132 eBay listings as valuable error coins listed. I counted over 90 mistakes in this book. This book is written by taking parts of writings and all of the photos from the internet, some of which is not correct.

How can a book like this be a best seller? What are your credentials? If I could use my credentials to get this book removed, I would.

Do not use this book to determine what error coins are. Many of cut and pastes from eBay are incorrectly listed as errors. Of the many I have listed four below and stopped after the Nickels. Some of the photos are bad, so actually validating is impossible.

There is a photo and an error listing for a 2002-D Lincoln cent closed AM - This is not an error, but a standard business strike - 2nd closed is not correct wording, it is close AM

There is another 2002-D Lincoln cent listed as struck through grease - It is not anything, but a circulated coin and millions of coins appear like this.

2017-P Lincoln cent listed as struck through grease is incorrect.

2001-P Jefferson nickel missing cladding - What does this mean? This Jefferson nickel is made of a mixed alloy, there is no layering

2004-P Jefferson nickel listed as a retained cud - This is not a retained cud; it is a die crack.

He uses "double die" which is not correct - it is doubled die

Glossary - Some of the definitions are incorrect and others are misleading. Below is just a few.

Brass - Incorrectly states pennies are made from brass

Flan - Although a "flan" is a metal disk, this is not an American term for planchet.

Fair - A coin in pretty rough condition, not very valuable. There are some coins in fair condition that are very valuable. What defines "pretty rough condition"

The concepts of this book were taken from other books written by authentic numismatic writers. It is a partial copy reworded of all the areas in other books without any quotes.

These books that spread false information are not good for advancing the collecting community.
