If you were assembling a GENERAL Gold Reference Library, covering all gold coins from 1795-1933; would you include any other books beside the three listed below?

United States Gold Coins, An Illustrated History, by Q. David Bowers

Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933, by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth

United States Gold Counterfeit Detection Guide, by Bill Fivaz
WANTED: Cincinnati Reds TEAM Cards

    I have A Handbook of 20th Century United States Gold Coins 1907-1933, by Akers.

    It doesn't have anything to offer over the Garrett book, but is softcover and portable.

    How do you like the Bowers book?

    Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, 1795-1834, John Dannreuther and Harry Bass. An excellent book with great information on early gold.

    Robert Scot: Engraving Liberty - biography of US Mint's first chief engraver
