<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 16197, member: 68&quot;]Books are great and are the best starting point for almost any collector but one shouldn&#039;t feel hamstrung in collecting because there is not yet any published information or only spotting reporting of it.&nbsp; I would advise that if you get into any virgin territory that you keep good notes on everything.&nbsp; One will try to trust too much to memory but it will often fail you after you&#039;ve been studying something for many years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a lot of great US and world coins, tokens and medals of the last fifty years which simply have not been studied yet.&nbsp; There are whole categories like modern amusement tokens which have a mere handfull of collectors.&nbsp; How many collectors of aluminum Chinese coins do you think there are?&nbsp; Since so many of the coins and tokens are base metal in the modern age fewer people have been interested in saving or collecting them and there is a tendency for them to be destroyed for their metallic when they become obsolete.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the last few years there have been books being written on numerous such subjects but there are many others still to be done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
