In the revised and updated fifth edition of 100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins, two distinguished numismatists, Scott Schechter and Jeff Garrett, continue the personal guided tour of the most significant modern U.S. coins. Rigorous research and careful voting have led to widespread changes in the ranking, with many new--and some surprising --additions.

From humble Lincoln cents to great rarities to costly platinum bullion issues, the coins herein show why the modern era is the most dynamic in all of numismatics. With lavish color photos, mintages, market information, behind-the-scenes stories, and an appendix tracking every modern coin that has ever been listed among the 100 Greatest.

New Foreword by David J. Ryder (former 34th and 39th Director of U.S. Mint)

-From the newly refreshed introduction of Appendix x... "It is interesting to analyze the full list and look for patterns: new directions on the part of the United States Mint, volatility among commemoratives, and the waxing and waning popularity of various error coins are three questions that come to mind." -Scott Schechter, co-author
