First a question: are you a serious collector? The listing admonishes that this is an "IDEAL REFERENCE FOR SERIOUS COLLECTOR." Plus it's autographed by the author, so you're likely in for some SPIRITED BIDDING.

 

The twenty dollar minimum bid seems a steal. For the seller, I mean.

Hmmmm? The book cover definitely artificially colored, the surfaces have been altered, the spine has been doctored, the pages have been thumbed.

 

No grade and bodybagged.

Send it in for a review and it might come back "The Official ANA Grading Standards for United States Coins"

I couldnt tell from the photo, but I think that book is full of blank pages. Maybe that sums up the philosophy?
