Subject: THE DEFINITIVE US ERROR COINS GUIDE

Dear Coin Collectors,
If you’re considering purchasing The Ultimate US Error Coin Guide: by Owen Steele, be aware of significant inaccuracies that may mislead collectors, especially novices. Several claims in the book lack support from established numismatic references, such as:
• Steele incorrectly cites the 1944-D/S Walking Liberty half dollar as an RPM example, when it is an over mintmark (OMM) error.
• Steele incorrectly states that a genuine 1942 copper cent measures 19.05mm, while a 1943 steel cent measures 19.00mm. Both coins share the same diameter of 19.05mm.

Steels’s book contains numerous inaccuracies and misleading claims that could lead to coin misidentification, overpaying for common items, or chasing non-existent varieties, risking financial loss or frustration. Amazon reviews echo these concerns, citing “misleading statements” and questioning the book’s professionalism, further undermining its credibility.
For reliable information, avoid sources from self-proclaimed experts who plagiarize error coin photos from sites like HA, NGC, Variety Vista, and doubledie.com. Many such disreputable works in coin collecting feature:
• Fabricated biographies
• Stock author photos
• Old English names chosen to seem American
• Falsified editorials
• Bogus credentials
• Manipulated five-star reviews.
This book is deceiving a surprising number of readers, landing it among Amazon's best sellers.
