"Favorite" is such a difficult word... The one that I enjoy reading is Q. David Bowers' History of American Coinage as Illustrated by the Garrett Collection. So, that would be my favorite in that sense. However, the one I rely on most often is The Red Book for ready access of common facts. That said, the truly superlative and unsurpassed work is Breen's Encyclopedia.
I am not a Bust Half collector and while the Souder Book (in large and small versions) is truly nice, the one that I look to is THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ATTRIBUTING BUST HALF DOLLARS by Glenn R. Peterson, MD. (2000. Money Tree, Rocky River, Ohio), but, again, it is not the first one that I reach for because I do not actively collect the series, but it is the one I rely on for authority, not the same thing as "favorite."
