What's your favorite numismatic book?

Probably my Bust Half Dollar books by Al Overton and the Red Book.

breens encyclopedia, regardless of what he was

 

I really liked Photograde because the book covers a lot of subjects in just about the level of depth I like. I also greatly enjoyed the Standard Catalog of Hard Times Tokens by Russell Rulau.

 

Well....I can't just pick one

I like any book written by James Wiles.
PCGS Grading Guide
Books by Bowers
Breen

Breen's book is alright---but it needs alot more photos...and alot of updating.
Bowers is pretty good--and his books are packed full of knowledge...but sometimes I find him dull....the James Wiles books are what got me starting hunting varieties. His books, unlike Breen's, are packed full of detailed photos...and has die makers also writen out.

But above all of the books, and I love to read, comes this Forum! It is like a LARGE book in one way...I can go to the search and find something about anything...and most of the time photos to go along!

I enjoy reading anything by QDB. Also, Guide to Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents by Rick Snow.

Thanks, jody, that's a good site. I've done a few searches for info, but that page never popped up.

 

just curious,why do you think of the cherrypickers' guide as a joke, codydude815?

 

Actually, there is a comma inbetween Cherrypicker's and redbook. He is calling the redbook a joke.

 

most all of david bowers books. easily my favorite numismatic author.

 

Absolutely gorgeous. Great window shopping !

Hey... a guy can dream, can't he ?
