Standing Liberty quarter question

Are there any good books about standing liberty quarters? Out of all U.S. coins, this series is my favorite, and I'd like to start collecting it.

Thanks

    One of my favorite series too...and has been for forty years.

    Remember this major 20th century series was only minted for a fifteen year period, 1915-1930.

    You can collect a circ set, a mint state set, or a mint state, full head set. All are challenging.

    Clines is the only book you will need.

    I think the third edition has been out for a few months now.

    Jay Cline actually is up to his 4th edition with revisions.

    Robert Knauss wrote a book on SLQ errors and varieties.

    Keith Kelman did the first book on SLQ's in 1975-ish sells upwards of $70+ used worth every cent.

    Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921 (by the present writer) has the only complete story of how and why the coins were designed, produced, modified and released into circulation. Includes pattern and experimental designs and is based on original documents and careful research.

    Jay Cline's book on SL quarters is the current standard for varieties, strike quality, etc. Get the 4th edition (latest).
