Best all around coin book?

Whats Out There?

Being new to collecting, it might be a good first step to just find out whats out there coin wise. The Redbook gives you a very good source of American coinage information. But only use the price guide as a general price range. Many factors can cause fluctuations in coin prices, the current bullion price is one of the major factors in price fluctuations. World coins is a series of books by Krause, this will give you a look at whats out there in world coins. This series has a book for 1700's coins, 1800's coins, 1900's coins & 2001 to present. These are quite expensive(they now are available in DVD format- which might be cheaper than the printed versions). If the price is too high, you might just browse through them at your local bookstore. I purchased the large version of the Redbook(45% larger than the regular Red book). The extra large print & photos make it a pleasure to use. Online coin sites are very valuable as well, i suggest you bookmark several.
