Deisher wrote “Cash In Your Coins” to inform and protect the hundreds of thousands of Americans who already collect coins, and those who will someday inherit their collections.
Coin collecting is a popular national pastime, and Deisher says, “It seems almost every American family has a stash of ‘old coins’ passed down through the years.” The hobby’s popularity is not new: Whitman Publishing has sold more than 23 million copies of its annual Guide Book of United States Coins (the “Red Book”) since 1946.
Valuable coins might be archived in safe-deposit boxes; they could be tucked away in Grandpa’s cigar box. They might compose a carefully arranged collection – or sit jumbled in a disorganized hoard. “Cash In Your Coins” answers questions that inheritors often ask: “How rare are these coins? What are they worth? Should we sell? Where would we even begin?”
Author Beth Deisher is an award-winning journalist and retired editor of Coin World, the premier news weekly for collectors. For more than 30 years she has answered the questions above. In “Cash In Your Coins”, she guides readers through the process of making sense of their coins, and making smart decisions when they sell.
Q. David Bowers (research editor of the Red Book) says, “With Beth Deisher’s guidance you’ll avoid costly mistakes and make decisions about your coins with more confidence.”
In addition to giving confidence to tomorrow’s inheritors, “Cash In Your Coins” gives comfort to today’s collectors. They can keep a copy of the book alongside their collection, knowing it will be there to give their heirs profitable knowledge and advice.
