What one collects with the most passion will dictate what reference is likely used the most. Another issue remains that research published in the format of a book for certain series of coins from various countries is either not readily available or may not be current or even somewhat dated. I suppose the references selected or needed would depend on how deeply one dives into die varieties. So I guess I am fortunate enough to have the references I have even though it remains inadequate for some.

I just tend to run into more Cap and Rays raw than a lot of foreign coins. Most of the the time in low grades, but have found several fun overdates using this book.
Yonaka's book on the pillar subsidiary mints (excluding Mexico). I used to use Gilboy the most before it was published. There are no references for the other coins I still want to buy now (Spanish colonial quarter real and Bolivian decimals).

Charlton catalogues for Canadian coins and tokens. Spink Standard Catalogue of British Coins and Rotographic comprehensive price-guide to British pre-decimal coins 1760 - 1970.
Enthusiastic collector of British pre-decimal and Canadian decimal circulation coins.
As some of you know, I collect Early Dated European coins, pre 1500 A.D. I use
Robert Levinson's book on that topic. "The Early Dated coins of Europe 1234-1500".
In early December, I received the new 2nd edition. Up to date with colour pics and
over 150+ new pieces added. I have a couple of hundred reference books, mostly
U.S. related. Bob's book is the one I use daily. Happy New Year to all!!
Brad Yonaka's new book on Mo Portrait 8 reales is going to move to the front of my library when it comes out, (hopefully very soon), pushing the Gilboy and Dunigan books out of first spot in my library. A good reference for portraits has been needed for a long time.
My wife rotates my coin books from the shelves into the closet. I have to sneak them out every once and awhile. Right now the book I use the most is the Snoop Dogg Cook Book. The Billionaires bacon is amazing

My JNDA. I update most years and copy my notes forward including marks for my 'haves'. Keeps me from over-duplicating. I was going to skip this year but a certain miscreant chewed up part of the 2019. Naughty, naughty, dog.

I don't collect Portraits of any denomination and have no intention of doing so. This is still a book I would like to own.
After reading this thread, I did not realize how many collectors of Central American
and South American coinage there are on this forum. Adding to my New Years resolutions,
I will investigate this area of coin collecting.

I did not know that Brad was issuing this -- my fault for missing the last USMEX conference. Thanks for posting about it John!

As greyhounds go she is a bit energetic. But she still spends about 20 hours a day (at least) lounging. And she gets into things. Lots of things. She chewed up several pages in my JNDA for example. I threatened to return her to the adoption kennel (not serious of course). But in general greyhounds are pretty lazy. THen again, most become family pets as adults so the puppy silliness is behind them.
My brother had a greyhound... And that was decades ago. Over time, i suppose I have forgotten how energetic they can be. A great photo that brought back some great memories...

For the more meaningful coins, Calico gets the most use.
Just got my Calico. And discovered that one of my coins made it as plate for Cal 973 . Funny given that it was minted after the independence so I would have never imagine that Spain would claim it as it's own.

I do like and enjoy the Dunigan book

Still use The Red Book four to twenty times a day.
The miracle was that Resplandores was published in the first place. I heard a lot about that many years ago.
Gold Coins of the Early Mexican Republic, R A long. And too I wish there was an update...
But maybe, the new Calico will take over...
Definitely the KM catalogs, although most of the time it's just to look up the cheap crap that I can't wait to get rid of.

Chopmarked Coins by Gullberg. Not really a reference, but about as close as it gets for chop marked coins.

Cacheman... Great to see you posting. Hope all is well. Thanks for the link.
Just curious if you have an interest in secessionist pottery and other forms besides medals?
As I suspect you know, the successionist movement extended into many forms... All of which are interesting... Perhaps some more than others.
