Overview
Build your knowledge as well as your collection. This section features numismatic books that help you identify, grade, and price coins with confidence. From the latest Red Book: A Guide Book of United States Coins to specialized Whitman titles on Morgan and Peace dollars, Lincoln cents, half dollars, commemoratives, Mexican money, and more, you’ll find solid references for both new and advanced collectors.
Use these guides to look up mintages, varieties, and design changes, study market trends, and learn what separates common dates from true key issues. Grading handbooks and die-variety guides, such as the Cherrypickers’ series and Making the Grade, are especially useful when you’re evaluating raw coins or reviewing submissions to PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or other services.
Whether you’re just starting out or fine-tuning a specialized collection, a good reference library will save time, prevent costly mistakes, and make the hobby a lot more rewarding.
