I've started collecting IHC and i was wondering if there is one book out there that deals with IHC that is seen a supreme to all others.
currently searching for IHC. Also searching for 2 and 3 cent coins.

    Go to the Eagle Eye Coin site. Rick Snow is the authority on IHC and FEC cents.
    He has numerous quality books that he has written. Highly recommended.

    The above, and strongly recommend Bower's "A Buyer's & Enthusiast's Guide to Flying Eagle and Indian Cents". I think it's out of print but B&M may still have copies. There's a lot of Snow in there, who's first book is even harder to find.

    B&M doesn't have Bowers book. I have been looking for it for awhile.

    A Buyer's and Enthusiast's Guide to Flying Eagle and Indian Cents by Dave Bowers is a super book for the Indian collector. Try book dealer Charles Davis. You will get a web site for him if you do a search. He might have a copy or he might know where to find one.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    If you want good RESOURCES to learn about IHC's, check out Indianheads.org. Shylock has put together a great site that has a wealth of up to date info. There is a link to the Fly In Club site there too. I would recommend joining the Fly In club for $20 - you get the quarterly journal and can attend the meetings.

    Same for Eagle Eye Rare coin - grading info, prices, inventory, history, etc.

    Snow is now concentrating on smaller, more focused books called attribution guides. They are excellant but limited in scope, for instance one covers 1856-58, the other 1900-1909. They are outstanding and should be purchased as they come out. The first 2 are available now. In addition to covering those years, there is a wealth of information about history, die making, varieties, etc.

    Have fun.
