The Numismatist's Guide now available
The Numismatist’s Guide is a textbook that provides a foundation of numismatic knowledge, including many aspects never before addressed in other books. It clarifies basic information and pulls back the curtain on advanced concepts known only to insiders. It promises to enlighten and serve as a handy reference for both expert and novice collectors.
It is hoped that this book will make numismatics more approachable to millions of people who might not otherwise study it, and enable them to leap from basic concepts into advanced exploration and appreciation of all that numismatics has to offer.
It will also serve as a foundation the numismatic community can discuss and build upon, both at their local club or coin show and through feedback to and updates from the author at https://www.TheNumismatistsGuide.com which may also contribute to future editions.

Anti-Counterfeiting Educational Foundation (ACEF) introduces Trusted Expert Emblem for use by ACEF Trusted Experts
From the ACEF website:
"Members of ACEF’s Trusted Experts Directory can be easily identified by the Trusted Expert shield logo they are licensed to use in advertising and at their websites. They are among the most respected and trusted experts in the numismatic community by virtue of the high standards they pledge to uphold. Directory members have earned trust and respect through years of dealing honestly and fairly with customers. For example, members included is this directory pledge to not knowingly sell counterfeits of any numismatic item – collectible coins, precious metals coins or rare paper money, etc. They also make two-way markets; that is, they both buy and sell. That’s important because you want to be sure the coin or piece of paper money you purchase is genuine. It’s equally important to know that you have options to sell your genuine coins or paper money at a fair and reasonable price when you (or your heirs) decide it is time to sell."
Aurora Rarities was named a Trusted Expert by ACEF in 2024 and has always shared both the mission of ACEF to educate the public and the high ethical standards that guide our personal and business life. You will begin to see the ACEF Trusted Expert emblem on our website and other communications going forward.
