I first saw it at a local coin Show in Michigan and it did create quite and interest.  Who would have thought that this coin, first released in 1986 and every year since could have had such a rich history.  It is a big book measuring 11” x 8.5” with 154 beautiful full color pages. The MSRP $29.95.  Read more about in Coin World – November 2012 issue which speaks to Mercanti’s career and personal insights.  It is never too late to start collecting these one ounce fine silver coins one at a time or in an entire set.
