<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 417108, member: 68&quot;]I agree in principle but there are surprisingly few resources for modern coinage.&nbsp; These coins were simply ignored for decades and it&#039;s only been in recent years that books have started getting published.&nbsp; For instance, there is not a single comprehensive reference for clad quarters.&nbsp; Bowers tried one last year but he had very little information to go on so it&#039;s the only one that has even attempted it.&nbsp; There&#039;s a single book on clad dimes, two on nickels, and three on cents.&nbsp; There is an excellent work by Wiles for the half dollar but this coin hardly circulates and the book is limited to uncs and proofs.&nbsp; There are at least four good works on Ikes.&nbsp; There are two or three books on all the moderns.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You can get most of the information you need on-line. Coneca&#039;s site is excellent.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are so many nuances to modern collecting that don&#039;t appear in the books.&nbsp; Most of the best quarter varieties are unlisted or unknown and this likely applies to most denominations.&nbsp; It&#039;s mostly a matter of looking.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Some people will prefer to specialize for one reason or another but the field of circulating moderns and their proof counterparts is still a narrow enough field that everyone won&#039;t find it necessary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
