Comprehensive List of Numismatic Reference Books (U.S. Coins) - Part 1 of 2

This is one of the most complete lists of numismatic reference books for U.S. coins that I've seen. It was put together a few years ago by Brandon Kelley and posted on another site, but I cleaned it up a bit, added a couple things, etc., and thought it would be useful to share it here. It's pretty lengthy so I split it into two separate threads. (Here's part 2: http://www.cointalk.com/t110013/#post900761

It may be a bit out of date, but it's very comprehensive and covers most every U.S. coin series. Let me know if you can think of any worthy additions and/or corrections.

No Book on This Series - Another Good Opportunity for Research!

 

Here are two often overlooked books on two cent pieces. They are hard to find books but are very good. The ANA library has them. I copied and pasted the Titles to include library's catalog numbers.

Longacre's two-cent piece, 1864 attribution guide * Author: Leone, Frank Call Number: GB31.L4a Publisher: College Point (NY), Frank Leone, 1997


Longacre's two cent piece, die varieties & errors. * Author: Leone, Frank. Call Number: GB31.L4 Publisher: College Point, Leone, 1991.

 

Actually:
"Breen Encyclopedia, Walter Breen"
Should be:
"Complete Encyclopedia of US and Colonial Coins."

 

I'm sorry, again I can't edit either of the lists, so whoever reads these will just have to note the additional books - thanks again for all those who contributed!!!

 

What can I say, I just like to push buttons - especially yours Dougie! :hug:
