Happy that my books got here. Limping along on a redbook and encyclopedia of us gold coins and what I can glean on line at the shops and shows has been frustrating. Now I have "coin grading and counterfeit detection", "photograde coin grading guide", "how to grade U.S. coins" (halprin) and I have to confess "coin collecting for dummies"...well, it was only few buks and it features work from Jim Halperin and Walter Breen and others so hummmm. The nice thing is that I can read them nice and slowly. So a quick thanks to longacre for putting together the little bibliography a while back on here...and good collecting all!

The books you have are good books. I think of those books as being largely "numismatic" in nature insofar as they concentrate on grading, collecting, etc. You might try acquiring one or two by Bowers because his books often stress a coin's historical connection or its story, which can make for a nice change from more collecting oriented books. But the books you have are a great start on a nice numismatic library!
