<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1547222, member: 112&quot;]This will help some - <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t14112/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t14112/">http://www.cointalk.com/t14112/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But books will do a lot more. But it depends on the type of coins and or time period that you want to learn about as to what books you need. For the very basic information the Krause catalogs will give you what you need. Krause even makes one that covers only Spain and Portugal. That issue covers not only Spanish domestic coinage but Spanish colonial as well, back to 1600.</p><p><br /></p><p>After that you need specialty books. Some will only cover the coins of a single mint, while others will cover all mints, and still others will cover only Spanish colonial mints. Two of the best books on Spanish colonial are - <i>Cobs, Pieces of Eight and Treasure Coins</i> - 1536-1773 by Sewall Menzel. And, <i>The Milled Columnarios Of Central And South America</i> - 1732-1773 by Frank Gilboy.</p><p><br /></p><p>But each of these will cost you a pretty penny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
