Sam Sommer, born in New Haven Connecticut, was always fascinated with the way words impact the thought process, and as such, he studied marketing in graduate school, earning an MBA.

With over 60 years of experience with coins and precious metals; starting out as a hobby, and later becoming a passion, he never runs out of material to write about. He also delves into health subjects and does extensive research that provides him with reasons to write about health as well as coins, precious metals, and plants.

Writing has always been a great stress reliever. His goal of making others better on a spiritual, physical and financial level, is what compels him to write and teach. His many online courses at Udemy have been viewed by over 20,000 students in 100 plus countries.

Sam Sommer hit the target with this book! It's very easy to understand, and read. Many points are given to us as novice collectors, what we should and should not purchase as well as what we should expect to pay, the minimum threshold amount to pay for an ungraded coin, if you should buy an ungraded coin (for the price listed), and when you should be weary of fakes. Definitely worth having this book in my collection!

I downloaded the book onto the Audible app for free. The book is short and to the point which I appreciate. I did not realize that there is so much to understand and be aware of this endeavor. This is a quick but good read and I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to look for errors and fake coins.
Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2022
Verified Purchase
Lots of good info on where not to buy coins. There is alot of fake coins selling. How too spot errors. The book explains things in detail so that you can understand what too look for. The author answered a few questions I had about a coin . I thought that was pretty good considering alot of people won't unless you pay them to look . Overall very pleased.
