<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CBJesse, post: 1844915, member: 40089&quot;]I have a couple suggestions that you may or may not find interesting depending on your interested. It is a hard question to answer as there are very few books that have gone into any type of depth regarding all types of US Coinage. With this in mind, I&#039;ll make two suggestions, one covering all types and their major varieties and the other covering a large area in depth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Complete Encyclopedia of US and Colonial Coins by Walter Breen - One of the only books to take on the enormous task of covering the range of US coinage and their major varieties. It is an excellent reference that is a must have IMO, but it is not without it&#039;s fault (take the info with a grain of salt). It is not very hard to find, but as BB4C said it is going to cost about $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>The History of US Coinage as Illustrated by the Garrett Collection by Q. David Bowers -&nbsp; This book is very different from the Redbook, but from reading your OP, I think you may like it, as it covers a large amount of US coinage; though it covers earlier coinage in more depth.</p><p><br /></p><p>A big plus is it&#039;s available to read for free, courtesy of PCGS, <a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/switch-carriers-no-early-termination-fee.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/switch-carriers-no-early-termination-fee.html" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/books/garret/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/books/garret/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/books/garret/</a></a></p><p><br /></p><p>As BooksB4Coins stated, please remember, there are references focusing and covering one subject in a very high level of detail and they&#039;re going to be far better than the above books ever could be, but in my opinon the two books listed are very good jumping-off points.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any other question about good reference material, please feel free to make another post or send me a PM, and I will be happy to answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jesse</p><p><br /></p><p>Edited to insert proper link to online book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
