Hello fellow YNs and YNH!
This 362 page book by Neil Berman and Ron Guth is absolutely amazing. 
The first chapter is filled with the basic knowledge every collector should know; hold a coin by it’s edge, don’t breath on your coins, etc. You know, the stuff we were learning when we first experienced the hobby. The later go on to explain the upsides and downsides of different collecting areas, from ancient coins, to patterns, to early American coppers, the authors explain them all. Although it was nice of the authors to include pricing estimates, they really were off the money (pun intended) when it came to pricing the coins, especially at today’s market pricing. 
It was an entertaining read, with lots of fun stories and helpful tips. There were chapters in there for the advanced collectors as well, with lost of numismatic celebrity tips, from everyone’s favorite coin collectors. I give this book an 8/10l, mainly because it would drone on and on, making the book way longer than it needed to be. 
Keep collecting (and reading),thatcoinguy
