[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 7404925, member: 73489"]No argument with any of your choices, Pub, I like 'em all and have some of them. [B][SIZE=5][COLOR=#b30000]Here are my 3 choices:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][COLOR=#0000ff](1) SAINT GAUDENS DOUBLE EAGLES [/COLOR][/B]by Roger Burdette: A 2018 magnus opus on Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coins, the book goes into depth on these coins like no book before. Even if you are NOT into SG DEs, you'll find the information on them interesting and the topics between the yearly/mintmark reviews very interesting (The Gold Standard, Die Failures, Gold Coinage After WW I, etc.). [B][COLOR=#ff0000]Note: [/COLOR][/B]Available only from Heritage Auctions and make sure you buy the Red Book with Burdette and not the Blue one focused on the Morse Collection. [B][COLOR=#0000ff] (2) GUIDE BOOK TO MORGAN SILVER DOLLARS[/COLOR][/B] by Q. David Bowers: One of the most popular U.S. coins to collect. Like Burdette's book on Saints it has interesting chapters and stories and information that isn't specific to Morgan's. 6th Edition has updated price and other information. In fact, you can expand this choice to include a Guide Book for whatever particular coin that you want to focus on collecting (assuming Whitman has a book on it :D). [B][COLOR=#0000ff](3) A Handbook of 20th Century Gold Coins, 1907-33[/COLOR][/B] by David Akers and Jeff Ambio: Covers both Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles and Indian Head Eagles. No fluff on other stuff....each chapter is 2-3 pages of data and a quickie review. Still, this is a classic book still used as a reference point and you want to get it before it's out of print/unavailable (no 3rd Edition coming, I checked). [B][U]I have a heavy concentration of gold-oriented books here but I figure others will mention grading books and others later on.
