<p>[QUOTE="Ian, post: 189041, member: 283"]Some books are better than others, but there isn't one `complete' book that i'm aware of. Probably the closest you'll get to it however is Bachtell's `World Dollars' 1477-1877. It covers all silver dollar size world coins for that period, including those of the numerous German states. It is a large volume book and usually sells exceptionally cheap on ebay and similar. There are a couple of other volumes (reprints and addenda) which are equally cheap. The three combined is probably all the reference you would ever need as a beginner / intermediate level collector on the subject. The `standard' reference books are by Davenport' (numerous volumes and generally expensive).They are well outlined, and glossy , but Bachtell actually includes coins missed by Davenport. So if I were you, i'd look out for the one I mentioned by Bachtell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
