<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4854876, member: 66"]The Breen encyclopedia is a very good GENERAL reference on the entire US coinage series all in one book. There is no other single book that covers everything in this much depth. HOWEVER there are errors in there and some made up facts, and it does not delve as deeply as the specific standard references for each series do. It couldn't without being as many pages as all the standard references combined. It is good if you want some general knowledge on a particular subject to some depth. But if really ant to get into something you need the standard references. I do still use my copy, and there are some areas when it has more information than I can get easily elsewhere. I mean if you want to know about the different die pairs of the Continental currency dollar where are you going to go?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
