<p>[QUOTE=&quot;torontokuba, post: 2053591, member: 56793&quot;]Anyone who presented a book or two in this topic, has made the effort not to come across like an illiterate farmer, straight from his field. Some just want to pop in with their catch phrase for beginners &quot;BUY THE BOOK BEFORE THE COIN&quot;, without any specifics. Give the beginner some examples of worthwhile books, title ideas, price point ideas, or they will end up with crappy, redundant publishings, commonly found on the rack at a show or in their coin shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is plenty to start with on the internet, for free, while you pick up some coins for your intended hobby. Unless, your intended hobby is book collecting, in which case, go buy your books.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also glad some people take the time to review and reference concrete titles. It means that a beginner can come here, start reading and getting an idea for free, in topics such as these...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-numismatic-literature.228947/page-2" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-numismatic-literature.228947/page-2">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-numismatic-literature.228947/page-2</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/book-review-the-art-and-science-of-grading-coins.256924/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/book-review-the-art-and-science-of-grading-coins.256924/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/book-review-the-art-and-science-of-grading-coins.256924/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are a beginner, make sure you have some coins that interest you to look at, in hand, before you start searching for or reading your books. Who knows, you might encounter a wise man here on the forum, who will claim the evidence is in the books, only to reverse that claim a few posts later, by saying the evidence is in the coins. Sounds like you should have your coins and do your reading at the same time. Don&#039;t get intimidated by searching on Google, like some people seem to get. Start with the internet, it&#039;s free. Leaves more money for coins. Happy collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
