    I finally got around to buying these books today. I got ANA grading standards and Cherry pickers guide fifth edition volume 1.

    I'm looking forward to going through them and learning some new things! :eek:

    You did well!
    Without knowing what other books you have AND what your collecting interest(s) are I don't have any other suggestions for you.
    But whatever, you are on the right path.

    Good books more than pay for themselves.

    Go for it.

    I think I have 12 books for coins and currency. I love looking through them. I haven't bought any coins or currency yet. Everything I have I've gotten from circulation but I will one day and hopefully I will know what I'm doing.

    I got it at Books A Million and it was around 28 I think. I have a discount card there and I bought several other books as well so I don't remember actually. They have it on their website for 26.35 with a discount card.

    A must have for any collectors bookshelf. It's always good to know what you didn't know.

    Ryan - as much as you buy and sell at least get the cherry pickers guides. As mentioned a couple of good finds the books will pay for themselves.

    Way to go KD!

    :bigeyes: :eek: - run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore and get a few...once you start reading coin books you will wonder how you made it a day without one.

    I have no idea how many I have - in fact, I've had to box some of mine up for the time being. I do have the books I use the most still out on my shelf...around 43 books and a few mag's.
