KeyMan64 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I was informed this morning that it should hit store shelves by Late August. That's all I know. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted December 31, 2020 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted December 31, 2020 An email today from Dennis Tucker to we members of the Rittenhouse Society indicates that the new edition of the CPG Vol II will not come out until summer. Whitman has been unable to bring on new editorial staff due to the pandemic, and this certainly has contributed to the delay.

Popular Post RWB Posted February 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) It appears that Whitman accidentally got hold of some misprinted Chinese calendars. According to that, the CPG Vol II will be out in the 13th month of the Year of the Raccoon.

RWB Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 The last edition was widely used in metal detecting.....The big spiral binding was great for diggin' up beer can tabs, dental retainers, etc. Or so I am told by the "internet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldFinger1969 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I think the variety that Ross found on one of the Saint-Gaudens coins is going to be listed in the new edition, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casman Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The CPG’s are a must have. If you can see and are not otherwise a complete goofball there are literally hundreds of coins that are easily obtainable for pocket change. I’m surprised (not really) by some of the comments here though considering the source it’s expected. With just the book, I’d Cherry picked my first coin in under 3 weeks. Paid $60, later sold for $3,549. Thought that was interesting, so Cherried another, paid $28, sold $3,500. I went on to find approx 20 more of that variety before deciding to focus on a different coin. Had similar results with that coin. Cherry picked a few Lincoln varieties right out the gate, paid $46 for the pair. Sold both for a total of $2,250. Best was a pick at $5 free shipping. That coin sold for $4,500. I could go on and on but in my opinion these books are great fun. I don’t play coins much these days as I’ve lost interest but to say these books are anything other than amazing is just plain stupid.

RWB Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 That's what the books are for. Even nicer when you can pick then out of a crabby dealer's stock, too! GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say however, that I’d picked just about all of them from coin dealers at one time or another including JTS which was strange but I did include the other CPG book which he had for sale.

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted September 2, 2022 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2022 The description is for Volume I, not the Volume II book everyone has been awaiting.

Lighten up sweetheart, I'm from New York also! Funny you should mention that. [Hey, everybody! Disregard what I've written!] So happens, just this morning I received the very latest word chosen by Merriam-Webster for discussion: "cherry-picker." I've gotten my mind out of the sewer long enough to learn 🍒 cherry picking is choosing the best of the best--and that a cherry-picking machine is so named because its arm extends high enough to get the cherries, not necessarily the best, clear out of reach. My sincerest apologies! 🐓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
