<p>[QUOTE="Stujoe, post: 965, member: 11"]I am currently reading <b>Breen’s Encyclopedia</b>. Not far enough through it to ‘review’ it but it is good; easy reading also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prior to that I read Alan Herbert’s <b>Official Price Guide to Mint Errors</b>. Do not be fooled into thinking it is just another price guide. It is actually the most comprehensive book on varieties I have ever seen. It goes into detail on how hundreds of varieties/errors are made and their categories and classifications. I would bet that a seasoned error collector could not name all of the hundreds of different varieties and errors that are detailed in this book. Even if you are not an error/variety collector, this book is worthwhile. It will give you a much deeper understanding of the minting process and that is worthwhile knowledge for any collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought Taxay’s <b>US Mint and Coinage </b>a week ago. I haven’t started it yet. It will come after Breen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
