Numismatic Library

Anyone have a good collection of books to learn more about coins. My modest collection of coin related books.

With so much online I don't have many books. Charlton catalogs for Canadian coins, the ones with special sections on dollars and half dollars, and a couple used ones from the 60s and 70s (cheap) so I could see when certain coins got popular/pricey. Bowers' guidebook of Barber silver coins, 2nd & 3rd edition, the latter was a waste of money, almost nothing new, basically just a reprint of the 2nd. Burdette's experimental coinage of 1942 because of a short-lived interest.

 

I have many but I need to one day take a picture of all of them together.

You need this one,


I see you don't have any books dedicated to Mint Errors. You're not interested in the subject?

 

IMO, best book ever by Dave Bowers:

 

I have some that are real old. They all over the place.

 

I keep mine mostly constrained to this space. The VAM book pictured is a signed hardcover, not my working copy. I actually have several signed books on this shelf, now that I think about it.

 

More than I can store properly, and they still keep coming!

 

I am and the book is not n my Christmas list so we shall see if Santa thinks I was nice and not naughty

 

I bow down to you that is an impressive collection

 

I know what you mean

 

Wow just wow

 

That just went on my list to acquire

 

It isn't currently this organized.

 

Not only do I admire the collection. But the bookcase is neat too. I doff my cap to you.

 

WOW. As I sit here in the jumbled mess of coin books, Journals, and stacks of notes on printer paper: for once in my life I am happy I haven't figured out how to post a picture with my new smart phone. James

 

LOL

 

My library. Bottom shelf is my currency collection.

 

Nice. Looks like a nice collection of currency

 

Yeah each binder is its only country. I only have about 161 pieces of currency though
