<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2787302, member: 36230"]The guys are just trying to help, and believe it or not, your question really isn't as simple as I'm sure it seems, especially to someone not yet familiar with how vast and complex this hobby can be. Just as a quick example: consider Morgans. Basic info can be found in most general US coin books or what's usually referred to simply as the "red book", but then there is more specific and specialized books intended more for the intermediate (think the Morgan Dollar "red book"). Then there are other references intended for those with a serious interest (Comprehensive Encyclopedia....). It's similar with websites; there are many sites with general info, and then others such as VAMworld (varieties), which may not be of interest to everyone, and is why the more you can tell the board about your specific interests, the more they can tailor their responses to you. I assume the same is generally true for non-US coins as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and as for trolling on a coin forum, stick around.... I think you'll be very surprised by how many seem to think the ability to do so the greatest thing since sliced bread. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to the forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
