FLYNN, KEVIN, Two Dates Are Better Than One: A Collectors Guide to Misplaced Dates, KCK Press, Rancocas, First Edition 1997
511 page First Edition soft cover guide to misplaced dates. Opening an entirely new chapter in the continuing evolution of numismatics, this book offers the reader as much information as is necessary in a manner that is easily understood. Descriptions are given by way of using a Reference System, Identifying Characteristics (Descriptions, Photographs, Location in Denticles, Diagnostics, and Die Makers), a Rarity Rating, Interest Factor (Interest Level), Premium Factor, and Other Useful Tools such as Total Mintage, Die Counts, Cross-Reference and Comments. Also included are Theories, Research, and Summation (by Kevin Flynn), as well as a Submitter's Cross Reference, Bibliography, Membership Applications and more.
In the present book, Kevin Flynn has done a great job of illustrating and describing these coins, many of which are listed here for the first time in any numismatic text. Treasure hunting is part of the human psyche, and everyone likes to come upon something of interest and value for just a nominal price. Misplaced dates offer such an opportunity. Most probably, the typical person owning this book, will be able to visit coin shows, dealer's stores, and other places, and cherry pick misplaced date varieties for no more than a regular coin would cost. Not only is the misplaced date apt to have an added value, but it also has an additional interest. With this book in your hands you are now in on the ground floor of what may well develop into an interesting and popular numismatic specialty. |
