I would have preferred that the lists included a way to check off which coins you've collected, as well as some extra space to write in the next few years. I would also like to know how to tell whether one of my pennies is made of one composition or the other, bc it was made in 2 that year.

I buy this for the Commemorative coins. I like that it gives me the mintage numbers. It's a good guide to coins. I only use the prices as a guide. Keep in mind that the book is printed 9 months before that year.

This, of course, is the standard guide for US coins and has no equal. The only criticism is that the advanced date of 2010 is misleading as the book covers through 2008 with a few early and incomplete 2009 entries. Call it 2009.
