<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1338658, member: 26302"]Jason, I am not old enough to help you but have a suggestion. If you like coin stories like this, I think you would really like David Bowers books, "Adventures with Coin Collecting" or something like that. I own a couple but they aren't handy. Lots of fun stories about the "good old days". In case you aren't aware, he started in the 50's being a dealer as a kid, and helped found many organizations in this hobby. For the last half of the 20th century, he truly is a great numismatist and leader in the hobby. I actually find all of his books well written. His writeup in the colonial coin book on the background of the hobby for these is fascinating.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, Frank Robinson has a good book on the same subject, "Confessions of a Numismatic Fanatic". I find bouth authors books worthy of rereading every few years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
