I'm looking for some book suggestions for the U.S. Two Cent and Three Cent pieces. I don't post alot but I do read this forum just about every day. Thanks.
i asked a few weeks ago about coin books in this thread you will see a list for just about every coin http://www.cointalk.com/t214439/
This come from Condors post from the link above and agree with it. Two cent pieces I think Flynn's book on two cent pieces is probably the best, I don't know the actual title. Title is Getting your Two Cents Worth Three cent silver Flynn has the only book I know of on this series. Three cent nickels The Ultimate Guide to US Three Cent Nickels 1865 to 1889 by Allan Gifford (This book is impossible to get. Only a few hundred copies and it has been out of print for over 20 years. There has been a copy up on Abesbooks for $500 for some time now but it is the only copy I've seen listed for over five years.) Alternate is another book by Flynn, not as good but it's a little more available. Read more: http://www.cointalk.com/t214439/#ixzz28cUhwiVo
Thanks for the quick replies. I'm looking to start collecting a new series and the Two and Three cents look like fun. I'll see if I can get ahold of Flynn's books. Thanks Art
