Looking for Numismatic Books

keoj

What good reference books would people recommend on the following topics:

- Large Copper Cents
- Seated Halves
- Seated Quarters
- Bust Halves
- Vermont/NJ/etc. Copper Coinage

Second part of the question:

- Is there a dealer that sells them or does one need to search through auctions, etc.

Thanks!!!!

Coinosaurus

For seated quarters, get the following in the following order:

Briggs comprehensive encylcopedia
Eliasberg catalog, April 1997
Gobrecht Journal collective volumes (4 of them)
Fractional Money (Neil Carothers)

The usual book dealers can help you out (they're listed in the back of Coin World every week).

Is Sanford Durst in Long Island City NY still selling books?

Yes. I bought a book from him more than twenty years ago, and won't try that again, but he's still advertising in CW.
