Great content, heavy books

The information inside is top-notch and very authentic. My only minor complaint is that the volumes are quite heavy due to the high-quality paper, but that's a small price to pay for such a comprehensive catalog.

Comprehensive but specialized

This is a deep dive into the subject matter. If you are specifically interested in copper coins and silver dollars from this era, it is perfect. General history buffs might find it too technical.
