[QUOTE="CohibaCris, post: 13443, member: 904"]Sure thing. Three books you absolutely must have as a collector (and a collector of Morgans). The Red Book - the new one is out Tuesday. Terrific information about coins in general, but be careful about valuations based on this book. Photograde - an absolute for anyone who is interested in grading or learning how to grade coins. The Official Red Book for Morgan Silver Dollars - the primer for Morgan collectors. Now, when you are ready, I can turn you onto a really cool book, but these three are must reads before proceeding past the initial interest stage. You can sink a lot of money really fast into Morgans. Be really careful. It will take your eyes some time to get used to looking closely at coins. Spend time whenever you can at a dealer's shop, coin show, etc, trying to solicit knowledge. I probably wasted at least a few hundred on coins that were not worth buying for long term purposes, but it taught me a valuable lesson to trust my own knowledge and enhance it whenever I can.
