meagan, the Cherrypicker's Guide to Die Varieties is a good book. The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents is another book you may want to check out.

Do you mean "pennies" or "cents"? Can it be web sites also or just books?

Yes what series exactly and country? There are so many good ones out there but there are a few dogs too. Depending on the series like Indian or Lincoln (a ton of books), Large cents (also many good references), etc.

US coins:

CherryPickers Guide Vol 1
Lincolns look for books by John Wexler, Kevin Flynn
Flying Eagle & Indian Heads - Anything by Rick Snow or the Fly In Club
Early Large cents start with Sheldon's Penny Whimsy
Later Large Cents look for Newcomb, Grellman and Noyes

For Canadian or rest of world I'm not so up on references availible, so I'll leave that to others. I only know of Charlton books.

Then look no further than Rick Snow. His website is http://www.indiancent.com

I'm happy to call him an old friend, and he is a great dealer that is very fair, trustworthy and always willing to help out a newcomer to the hobby. He has written a lot of books over the years. Many of them still in print and offered on his website.

Not sure if still available but if you try http://www.coppercoins.com web site and request on how to purchase a copy of Looking Thtough Lincoln Cents by Charles D. Daughtrey. This book, two versions made, covers just about everything you would like to know about Lincoln Cents.
Also, the Lincoln Cent Resourse web site is really great.
