"It depends on what you are trying to learn. If you are hoping to be able to buy and sell or invest for a profit then the books mentioned by emh are possibly where you want to start." I actually found these books to be quite informative not just for investment purposes. Despite the title, "The Experts Guide to investing and collecting..." covers a wide range, only a small portion of which was actually dealing with the investment aspects. Although collecting can be an investment, I'm not in it for that purpose and when I picked those books up I was looking for wide ranging info which I found in them. At this point I am narrowing my focus and buying the Red Book series and other books with more focus on a particular series of coin. |

Thank you all for the great replys. I am not looking to sell right now, but who knows what the future will bring. I like the fact of collecting assets and passing it along to generations to come. I am feeling the Red Book. I just want a common knowledge of what is in store for me in the coin hobby. All the best and thank you all. ~James |

The Red Book is the "Bible" of coin collecting... I have been a dealer for more than 20 years, and we honestly use it almost everyday here in the shop. Welcome to the Hobby of Kings!! |

There sure is a book full of information on the left hand side of every page in here
See US Coins and the four click-able topics beneath it. Take a look at those.
US Coin Facts
US Coin History
US Commemorative History
US Coin Image Gallery

? He was referring to his post where he called Leroy "Larry" by mistake. Good call on the Red Book!  |

It is easy to get lost in the discussion sometimes.  |

It is easy to get lost in the conversation when you don't check your posts often. Sorry about the disconnect I should have posted my "Larry" comment sooner to atone for my error. "Who am I? Why am I here?" Adm. James Stockdale's comment at the VP debate. (Probably one of the most celebrated quotes by an almost politico in history. He was a great military man, Perot should never had asked him to be in that debate. He was lost in the conversation before it even began.) I'm sure you thought I was just as absent minded with my comment. I shall endeavor to persevere in the future. |
