COINS FOR KIDS ™

It averaged 29 publications per year with New Music accounting for over 23% of its catalog. Kevin self-published his first book The Complete Guide to Collecting Composer Coins in 2015 and his second book Coins For Kids in 2016. Currently he has published 13 books and 4 additional supplemental workbook-style books.

"Dear potential readers: All of my books began as personal note-taking for my own use. As I gathered more information through research and experience, I thought that information and insight might be valuable to others - especially young people and adults just getting started with coin collecting. The Numismatic (coin-collecting) world is extremely vast and I haven't found many satisfying books on general beginner coin knowledge. I'm neither a coin expert nor a professional writer, but I'm a lifelong collector and I've taken great care in writing and producing my books. I think being a teacher has helped me present my books in way that is clear, informative, accurate, well-organized, and visually interesting - I hope you agree! I've also written my Coins For Kids book series so as not to resemble a textbook. I've found that searching (with a little knowledge) through "pocket change" can be an inexpensive, satisfying, and rewarding experience. Once you get started - you'll discover favorites as you grow your collection -and you can do it on a budget. I'm very thankful for all the positive reviews and hope my books draw more people to coin-collecting and help enrich their lives."
