I came across this book on Amazon and started perusing through the few available free pages and a few entries caught my eye. Anyone else find these misleading?
Or at least think the author could've chosen better example pics?








Apparently a lot of collectors are buying this book for it to be a #1 seller.

Misleading? Some things are just flat out wrong.

Labelling a RPM as a doubled die, using a picture of a doubled die for Machine Doubling, Using 'striking error' as a catch-all.

More quotes from other sources than his own commentary. Even quoting himself!

Absurd. Who is this guy?

It definitely is an error of a coin guide.

he's a youtuber also, his bio says he's a professional numismatist. good thing you don't need a college degree to make that claim. LOL

It's so much work to put a book together that the author should put work into getting it right, or at least having someone from a place like this check the content. There's always the 2023 edition.
