A Great Start for a New Hobby!

I've always been fascinated by old coins, but I had no idea where to start. This made everything feel approachable and fun. I now know how to identify valuable coins, what to look for at flea markets, and even how to store my collection properly. It’s great to finally have a hobby that doesn’t feel overwhelming, and this made all the difference.

My kids are loving this one

My kids love to go hunting for random coins, so I found this audiobook on the history and how to identify quality coins. They are loving this book; it is easy for them to follow, and they would find a coin and rush to the computer to listen about what they may have found. Highly recommend this one.

Coins are more interesting than I thought

I listened to this audiobook mainly out of curiosity, and honestly, I didn’t expect to get so into it. The way it explains the hidden value in everyday coins was pretty cool—I’ll definitely be checking my spare change a little closer from now on. The history behind some of these coins was a surprise too, and it made me appreciate the ones I’ve overlooked. The only thing is, I wish there were a few more real-life examples to help understand everything beyond concept. If you’ve ever been even a little curious about coin collecting, this is an easy and fun way to get started.

Hidden Gems in Your Pocket?

I went into this audiobook thinking coin collecting was something only serious hobbyists did, but Rory Young's narration really brought Alex Sawyer's words to life and made it sound like a fun adventure! I was surprised by how much valuable information is packed into this guide, especially the tips on identifying and grading coins. Now I'm excited to start looking at my spare change with fresh eyes, hoping to find a hidden gem. I'd absolutely recommend this book to anyone even remotely curious about starting their own coin collection; it's a really fun introduction to the hobby!

Informative and Easy to Follow

I picked this up on a whim, thinking it might be interesting, and I ended up learning so much! It breaks everything down into simple steps, so I didn’t feel lost even as a complete beginner. The sections on coin grading and identifying fakes were especially helpful. I feel much more confident now when browsing at coin shops!

Helped me understand my grandfather's collection

I inherited my grandfather’s coin collection, but I had no idea what I was looking at. This book made it easy to understand what I had and how to take care of it. I learned how to check for rare coins, spot fakes, and figure out what makes certain coins valuable. It also explained grading and preservation, which helped me keep everything in good shape. Now I appreciate the collection a lot more and feel confident in taking care of it.
