Ecoinomics is designed to equip the reader with a full working
knowledge of the global numismatic market and how it differs from
country to country; it details the various factors which contribute to
the value of a coin as well as different collecting practices (such as
third-party grading in the US).
Covering the range of costs and benefits involved with keeping a
substantial amount of capital in coins, including performance over time,
market trends, tax, and insurance, Ecoinomics aims to give the reader
the confidence to buy coins and to begin participating in the numismatic
market.
"Robert Parkinson has written an interesting and informative guide that
explains many of the most important topics in numismatics. This book
will serve as a valuable resource for new and experienced collectors
alike." -- Max Spiegel, President, Certified Collectibles Group / NGC
