<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 934362, member: 26302"]Just to add my point, the fact that older reference books are still valuable is treated as gospel in the ancient coin world. I find myself chasing books printed 50/75/100 years ago regularly. About the only coin books that get outdated are the "and their values" type when a new edition is published. One should never think that since they have the standard reference to a series that another, maybe older, book is still not valuable.</p><p> </p><p>Knowledge is money, and this is absolutely true in coin collecting. It also allows for deeper, more fulfilling understand of the coins you own and collect, making your collection even more rewarding. Also, a good coin book actually goes up in value faster than the coins they are describing, so it is not an expense really, but an investment itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
