I've got a copy of it. NGC gave it to me for winning the trivia question. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I recall it was a decent book.

I was at the coin world web site looking to buy some flips and came across this book, but $5.00 at the AA price...

 

Had me wondering how good it would be. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

Here's the listing from the web site:

 

COMPREHENSIVE CATALOG OF US COINS,2nd EDITION

 

This indispensable reference work covers the entire spectrum of U.S. numismatics in a single comprehensive volume. The editors begin with Colonial and Early State issues, including tokens and medals, before moving into the coins of the Confederation Period. Extensive listings and photographs cover all these issues. The listings of U.S. coins are no less extensive. In addition to mintage figures and values by grade, there is a great deal of information that is coin specific to individual dates and mints. The provenance and sale data of famous rarities is also featured. Following the section on Commemorative Coins is an extensive chapter on Pattern, Experimental and Trial Pieces. At the conclusion of this chapter is a concordance between these listings and those using the Judd numbering system. The Encyclopedia also features listings of Territorial coinage and Pioneer Gold.
