Consultant to the U.S. Mint, Swiatek (Commemorative Coins of the US) opens this specialized guide with a valuable 37-page introduction detailing, in straightforward language, coin grading and commemorative pricing. The 110 entries that follow are organized first chronologically by coin issue year and then alphabetically by name. Each entry runs approximately four pages and offers photographs of the obverse and reverse and, when pertinent, the collector's set packaging. Tables outline production figures, contemporary market values, and by-grade population figures. Design origins and counterfeit detection are also explained. VERDICT An essential, well-organized guide. The glossary makes the book's specialized language accessible to novices.
