<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 20319, member: 669&quot;]Welcome to the forum Dell.The basic reference for U.S. coins is the Yeoman <i>Guide Book of US Coins</i>, commonly referred to as the Red Book, available at any coin shop and most book stores, as well as your local public library.&nbsp; For world coins it&#039;s the Krause &amp; Mishler four volume <i>Standard Catalog of World Coins</i> covering the 17th Century to date.&nbsp; The large phonebook-sized 20th/21st Century Edition is probably at your local library also, and some or all of the earlier century volumes may be there, or available on inter-library loan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Use both of them to attribute your coins, and get a general idea of value, but <i>do not</i> rely on them for pricing.&nbsp; The Red Book is a frozen retail guide in a rapidly shifting market.&nbsp; Krause is famous for being off-base in both directions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you have the coins generally attributed, you may also want to check the Cherry Pickers Guide for varieties of U.S. coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>And don&#039;t be afraid to ask questions here about specific coins, especially if you can post clear pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
