Message:: [QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 900759, member: 16948"]This is one of the most complete lists of numismatic reference books for U.S. coins that I've seen. It was put together a few years ago by Brandon Kelley and posted on another site, but I cleaned it up a bit, added a couple things, etc., and thought it would be useful to share it here. It's pretty lengthy so I split it into two separate threads. (Here's part 2: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t110013/#post900761" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t110013/#post900761">http://www.cointalk.com/t110013/#post900761</a> It may be a bit out of date, but it's very comprehensive and covers most every U.S. coin series. Let me know if you can think of any worthy additions and/or corrections.  Numismatic Reference Books  Colonial CoinsEarly Coins of America, Sylvester CrosThe Official Red Book: A Guide Book of United States Coins, R.S.
