A Numismatic Classic, Now Back in Print!

A Handbook of 20th-Century U.S. Gold Coins: 1907-1933Irvine, CA – David W. Akers’ classic numismatic reference, A Handbook of 20th-Century U.S. Gold Coins: 1907-1933, first published in 1988, is now available in an updated second edition published by Zyrus Press! Revised and expanded by Jeff Ambio, author of the "Strategy Guide Series," he begins the book by describing the changes in the market since the publication of the first edition.

 

He says, "Much has changed in the numismatic market since the first edition of this book went to print 20 years ago, particularly in connection with the 20th century gold series. Third-party certification has now become the industry standard for authentication and grading. The Internet has made numismatic research considerably easier and has made information readily available to anyone with access to a personal computer. And, of course, many important collections of 20th century U.S. gold coins have sold during the 20-year period from 1988 to 2008. Clearly, an update and revision were definitely in order."
