NEW BOOK: STRIKE IT RICH WITH POCKET CHANGE, 5TH ED.

Strike It Rich With Pocket Change - 5th Edition Released

Ken Potter and Dr. Brian Allen have released the 5th edition of their NLG Award Winning book Strike It Rich With Pocket Change – Error Coins Bring Big Money! The authors start out by asking if you ever knowingly spent $100 on a candy bar or $50 on a soft drink? As ludicrous as the concept sounds, the authors suggest that there is no doubt you have unintentionally done this numerous times without even knowing it!

They contend that there are just as many valuable coins in circulation today as there were 50 years ago. As more collectors are drawn to the treasure-hunt appeal of error and variety coins, interest in everyday coins is increasing as people take a closer look at the change in their pocket. This 368-page book is designed to help you find those rarities!

This book helps make sense of phrases like "Doubled Die," "Repunched Mintmark," "Double Edge-Lettering," and "Clashed Dies" for starters.

Readers learn about the different types of errors and varieties and how to spot them using the unique and useful combination of nearly 1000 photos and illustrations.

There is also an all-new chapter on major error types rarely found in pocket change but of general interest to readers who may want to delve into this area of collecting.

It also includes a brand new comprehensive chapter on the rare and very valuable Transitional Errors such as the 1965 Washington quarter struck on a 90% silver planchet (blank) and others of its ilk that are worth thousands, often tens of thousands of dollars.

Among the coins included in the listings are Lincoln Memorial and Shield cents, Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, Kennedy half dollars, Washington quarters (of all types) and all the dollar coins issued since the Eisenhower dollar through the current Presidential and Native American dollars. While the listings focus on the more valuable rare coins, the principles discussed throughout this book can be applied when inspecting any coin for possible errors.

The book received the Extraordinary Merit Award from the Numismatic Literary Guild in 2007. The 2021 5th edition was published by Krause Publications for Penguin Random House who is offering it for $20.00. It can be ordered from Random House as ISBN 9780593328606 at https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books.

The book can also be found at Wallmart, Target, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, Bookshop.com, Hudson Booksellers, IndiBound, Powells and some of the mom & pop concerns.
