And almost without exception - these books contain errors and misinformation. Which is why no single book will suffice for the advanced collector. To such a collector - his library is often more important than the coins themselves. And the books are often much harder to find and just as expensive as the coins - often more so.

[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 23436, member: 112"]The more advanced you get in this hobby - the more you discover how much there is you want & need to know.

And to really know your subject - you need them all. The first "printed" book about coins was written in 1511 ( here I go using my memory again :rolleyes: ) - and since then it has never stopped.
