[QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2440769, member: 78153"]I don't have very much reference material because little exists for the series I collect. I would rather spend money on coins I collect than buy books on coins I do not. It's the same philosophy I have on buying coins outside of my series, Every dollar I spend on something else is one dollar less for my primary series which can be used for coins I want more. The only real reference book I have is for the Spanish colonial pillar coinage, Gilboy's "The Milled Columnarios of Central and South Amarica" published in 1999. Most "reference books" in my experience are really price guides and if not, basic beginner material that I acknowledge has value but I don't believe really tells you more than what you can learn yourself on the internet today or that you wouldn't learn by looking at auction listings. I have a low number of US coin books from the 1980's on a variety of series and in my opinion, this is what they are like.[/QUOTE]
