[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 25843482, member: 82388"]I have quite a few books because I had a wide range of interests over the first 10 years or so when I began again after college. Today though, I do most of my research online except for the Krause catalogue for German coins which is my go to reference, which I actually have a physical copy of and can find what I need a little quicker that way. If you are a US collector with a fairly narrow focus, I've heard lots of good things about the mega red books. You could pick the volume with the series you like. I also think most series have a specialty publication devoted to them written by prominent numismatists. When it comes to grading, "Grading Coins by Photographs" by Q. David Bowers is a favorite and affordable. I'm a very visual person when it comes to learning and it helped me hone my grading skills. I would say, with the upcoming holidays, Whitman publishing often has some great deals on books, so if check them out if you would like to expand your library.[/QUOTE]
