OLD COINS FOR KIDS: Book 2
An Introduction to U.S. Historical and Obsolete Gold Coinage.
by R. Kevin Paul

In the first book of this series, Coins For Kids, the focus was on modern circulating coins - most of which could be obtained with some searching from everyday change received from stores and banks, etc. The coins in this book are both impossible to find in everyday change and sometimes impossible to purchase due to their scarcity. In fact, most people have never seen real examples of some of the coins in this book.

There are volumes of information written about most of these coins by true experts; however, the goal here is simply to introduce young readers and novice collectors to these historical coins. I have tried to present the coins and organize this book in a way that is easy to understand and provides basic information on their physical details, years of issue, and some variations of their design.
