Whats in Your Numismatic Library??

I also bought that Whitman Encyclopedia and it is excellent. I havent even finished reading a quarter of it but it is a great reference.

I love some of the material in the beginning and I just started flipping through it! I think it was a really good buy for the price.

 

Another book in my collection: The Coin Collector's Survival Manual, 6th Ed., by Scott A. Travers, 20008

 

Thanks for the recommend! I will have to pick up a copy of this title too.
It seems a really decent price for such a large volume and with so many color illustrations as well as being hard cover.

 

Ya, definately a recommend! It is a great buy for what you get! Really neat organization of everything you can think of. They didn't hold back on this book:thumb:

 

Just to get away from US currency based books.
Apart from the Standard Krauss catalogs for coins and banknotes here are the only other two reference books I have.
Thai Coins (fortunately in Thai/English) and Thai Banknotes (unfortunately in Thai only but my wife translates when needs be) very handy for ID-ing signature types and order of issue.

 

Hello everyone,

I have a few books in my library. Some of these would be considered pamphlets more so then books, but do have a lot of great info. I have sort of collected a few Red books too.

Some of mine:

 

The Whitman Book by Bowers looks very interesting. I found it on Amazon - I'll order one next payday. I also found an interesting account/id on flickr. Numismatic Bibliomania Society's photostream. They have a few nice snapshots of different sections of the book and a number of other numismatic books as well.

Here's most of mine:

 

It's funny how you can tell many of the books even though they have no words on the side or are spiral bound

 

There are some great book collections here, at least I know I'm not the only one accumulating a book collection along with my coin/note collection haha.

 

As you can imagine, we have a large collection of numismatic references at Heritage Auctions.

Additionally, I have an extensive personal numismatic book collection that encompasses coins, tokens, medals, paper money, etc. and includes many out of print books, etc.

 

What's in Your Numismatic Library??

Are they hiring at Heritage, pacifically in the Numismatic Library section??

 

Well mine are scattered throughout the house,in random locations.strategically placed in locations I cannot find,when I need them the most.

 

Just the basics.

 

Some of those are very impressive, I'm quite pathetic when it comes to books.

 

This is a must have! Thank you gsalexan for the great recommendation! Went through a bit of a ordeal with one seller but was able to get it from another seller. Really like it a lot!!!
