<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdb1950, post: 27845, member: 1735&quot;]Another way to gather books about coins is to put yourself on a major coin auction house mailing list.&nbsp; They will start sending you coin auction/sale catalogs and emails, usually with great photos and tons of information about whatever they are selling.&nbsp; Superior, Heritage Numismatics, Bowers and Merena are a few good places to start.&nbsp; If you were to actually purchase something from any of these folks, you would be set for life!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t forget a Cherry Picker&#039;s Guide and Alan Herbert&#039;s Guide to Mint Errors, both are a must for collecting errors and varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, I agree with SusanLynn9 that a Breen Encyclopia in your library is worth the expense.&nbsp; In addition to the Encyclopedia of US and Colonial Coins, he also has great books on Commems and proof coins.&nbsp; There are a ton of other smaller Breen publications and they are always prized additions to my library.&nbsp; Breen&#039;s books are important because of the meticulous detail and depth of information about the coins discussed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
