<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8494966, member: 112&quot;]Most books on coins are basically little more than catalogs, and there are many, many of them. There&#039;s nothing wrong with catalogs as they give you all the basic information of date, mints, often mintage numbers but not always, and often any known varieties. And there&#039;s almost always pictures of each individual type. And if that&#039;s what one wants then the books are easily found.</p><p><br /></p><p>Far less common and sometimes often downright to find are books that give you all that plus the background, the story, the history behind and of the coin. Those are the books I always sought after. Sometimes easier are books that only give you the story and history of the coin. For the sovereign, this would be an example - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/historic-coins/historic-books/a-history-of-the-sovereign-chief-coin-of-the-world-book/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/historic-coins/historic-books/a-history-of-the-sovereign-chief-coin-of-the-world-book/" rel="nofollow">https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/historic-coins/historic-books/a-history-of-the-sovereign-chief-coin-of-the-world-book/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
