<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Manda, post: 3546849, member: 104015&quot;]Hello hello!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m quite a new member here, and like many new collectors I have questions. My first one concerns books. I know the old adage about buying the book first, and I plan to do just that. However... Which book(s)?</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope to work on a US type set, at least from the mid 19th century to perhaps the end of silver coinage for now. No gold, ill go slow. Now, I&#039;m a collector of modest means, so ill be into low ms grades at best, and won&#039;t snub lower coins if they&#039;re pleasing and/or the price is fair. I&#039;ve ordered a copy of the Type Collector&#039;s Guide from the red book series, and will pick up the 2020 Red Book itself next time I&#039;m by the coin shop in town here. But besides these... What would you recommend? Should I look for more in depth books which perhaps focus more on a type? Or at the rather low end coins ill be seeking out, are such specific books going to be unhelpful?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks much,</p><p><br /></p><p>Manda[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
