"If you're like most people, you've probably found a penny lying in the street. Maybe you've even come across a nickel or a dime or really hit the big time and picked up a stray half dollar.
Did it ever occur to you that coins like these might be worth a lot of money? The odds are against it, of course; most of the
"lucky pennies" that turn up at our feet are as common as three-leaf clovers, and so are most of the coins we get in our pocket change. But every now and then, Lady Luck flashes an extra-special smile and directs our attention to a truly exceptional coin—one that's worth a premium of hundreds or thousands of dollars to collectors. And it happens a lot more often than you might think.
That coin may not appear on the sidewalk or the street; in-stead, you may discover it in a long forgotten cigar box or tucked away in the drawer of an old, unused dresser in your at-tic. When it does turn up, however, you'll need a reliable way to determine how much it's worth. The Insider's Guide to U.S. Coin Values gives you that information in simple and accurate form, making it far more likely you'll receive a fair price for that spe cial coin when you go to sell it." —Preface
