As for books, I would suggest that you find a certain coin that you love and master it.  For example the Morgans or Cents or perhaps 3 cent pieces.  Mastering one or a couple of coins / series will give you an edge in collecting and will be very satisfying in the long term. The Cherry Pickers Guide to Rare Die Varieties is also a good book to help you discern in depth.  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cherrypickers-Guide-Varieties-United-States/dp/0794820530/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325553664&sr=1-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Cherrypickers-Guide-Varieties-United-States/dp/0794820530/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325553664&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Cherrypickers-Guide-Varieties-United-States/dp/0794820530/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325553664&sr=1-1</a> Most of all, learn to get profit out of the way and learn to enjoy coins.  So much to learn.  I have been collecting since 1982 and still lean from the fine people on CT every time I come to this forum.  That is one of the best facets of numismatics!  The people!!![/QUOTE]
