$14.95 at BookaMillion I think

There a few out there, one of cheapest is a Whitman book by Q David Bowers

 

My favorite is "A Buyer's and Enthusiast's Guide to Flying Eagle and Indian Cents" by Q. David Bowers. It's been out of print for a while but can still be found. The Red Book is sort of a replacement but has less information. I like having both.

 

thank you art, will check it out

 

There is also one I like by Rick Snow - Red book guide to Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents.

 

Try the Whitman Web site. Usually you can ask about books like that.
Also, if you get a chance to go to a coin show, some have dealers that deal in books and even if they don't have one handy, they may well know where you can get one or get one for you.
If you go to Google and type in Indian Head Cent Books you will get 630,000 possible places to learn about those coins.

 

My suggestion, buy the first editon of A Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Cents by Richard Snow :thumb:. Its only $10 on Rick's website http://www.indiancent.com/38-rick-snow I think its the best book out there for the begining indian head cent collector. If you want to spend a few more dollars then pick up the recently released second edition.
