U. S. Fractional Gold Coins

The privately-minted fractional gold coinage of California is one of the most mysterious areas of American numismatics. Relatively little is known of their role in commerce if any, denominated in dollars, half dollars and quarter dollars, . The experts disagree on whether these coins actually served as money or were merely sold as curiosities and charms. Whatever the right story, California fractional gold pieces are a delight to collect and have attracted many adventurous numismatists.

This book covers the basics of collecting coins, including info on storage, where to find coins, strategies to collecting, and much more. It starts with very simple directions and takes the time to define the jargon used by collectors. The author gives different examples of how to begin collecting without being overwhelmed by the process. I think the advice to begin with a certain denomination and use folders to help find the coins to complete a series, helps to keep you from getting frustrated and quitting before you even get started. The author explains how to begin with just searching pocket change and maybe getting some rolls of coins from your local bank, which can be a fun and inexpensive ways to get your feet wet.

The language in the book is written to where a 10 or 12 year old could understand it, but not so oversimplified that it is boring for adults. The author adds little bits of trivia at the end of each section covering a specific denomination and often includes something humorous about the coin.

So if you are a complete newbie or a casual coin collector, this book will give you everything you need to know to either begin a collection or take that jar of old coins you have been hanging on to, and organize them. It should help you make coin collecting a fun and interesting endeavor for you and your family.
