Reader Reviews
Mr. Travers is a prolific author, to say the least. I seem to purchase a lot of his books even though I usually find myself thinking that the book at hand might have included more information, which is probably why I purchase a lot of Mr. Travers' books. I'm certain that this is no oversight from the man. Afterall, he makes his money by being meticulous in his own 'editorial' decisions, when looking at coins. I mention this because this book is not exxentially different from his coin 'survival guide.' In other words, you should buy one or the other but not both. In my mind, the biggest difference between the two books is that in the survival guide Mr. Travers discusses the changes in coin grading standards; a topic so esoteric that this info is going to be barely relevant to the overwhelming majority of collectors. In this book Mr. Travers includes a chapter of information that he tells the reader he has never disclosed in book form: The 'When To Sell' chapter. This chapter is useful, as most of Mr. Travers' advice is, but there is nothing really earth shattering in it, just good common sense advice, most of which can be parsed from the other book. To distill Mr. Travers' views in this book, he strongly holds the belief that money can be made by buying undergraded but encapsulated coins and submitting them for regrades, and also by spotting hidden gems amongst so-called raw coins that are out there whose charms are apparent to the keen-eyed and well-informed, i.e. Gather as much coin knowledge esoterica as possible, look carefully at coins for things that countless others have failed to see, and buy gold coins when the price of gold is down and you can hardly fail to make money. Oh, yes, and always go for quality! The one thing that I find to be of enormous help in both books is the excellent and comprehensive discussion of coin grades from AU 58 through MS 70 (and, in this volume a corresponding discussion of Proof coins). My problem with the capsule cracking scheme is that it seems like a mug's game. This view, by the way, is shared by the subjects of the interviews with a couple of coin world heavyweights which are included in this book. To sum up, any book by Mr. Travers is filled with helpful information, but this one has so much shared information with the survival guide that if you have one don't buy the other. If you don't have either, my bias is for this one.
