    hey guys I'm looking for a bit of moon light reading, I have $100 to spend on the new book. something that is vitally important I was thinking about good but I already have it and I just need an updated copy of book 2 the cherry pickers. But I don't know what else to get right now I want to but what do you feel is the most important to get to your library
    ???f y I if you use the redbook I'm not too keen on it I like the north american coin and prices guide

    Well it needs to be something you like to collect. There are a lot of books on specialties. So what do you like to collect? I am sure others can make some specific recommendation.

    That would be my top recommendation as well.

    I don't know whether you want a reference book for a specific coin series or something about numismatics in general. If you want a book about the development of US minting operations from the 1830's to the 1930's, then Roger Burdette's (aka RWB on these forums) book, From Mine to Mint is a must-have. It is packed with so much information that you'll want to read it again and again.

    Yes, the ANA book, or Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of US and Colonial Coins.

    ...Oh, I almost forgot "Making the Grade" (3rd edition, Top 80 most popular US coins).

    The new version of "Coins and Collectors" by Q David Bowers is a fantastic read.
