Strike it Rich with Pocket Change book review

Everyone wants to make money somehow.  But who knew you could make money with your own money?  I love collecting odd shaped coins, and my collection of $2 dollar bills grows at every chance I can.  I love the unusual.

I recently read a book called "Strike it Rich with Pocket Change", and was amazed at the many things we never notice on our coins.  Some things are simple, but most are not visible without some magnification.  Those little mistakes can be worth hundreds of dollars.  If you don't know the value of a coin with a defect, you could have just spend $50 on a $5 scoop of ice cream!

I know that I am going to continue to use this book for future reference whenever I find something that I think might be more than just "2 cents".  It is an easy read and set up to easily navigate.  They cover the coins value and what to look for in depth, which makes it easy for anyone to use the book.  No funny terminology to confuse you!  I definitely recommend purchasing this book if you are serious about starting a coin collection and looking for money in money.


I received a copy of this book for review.
