Where to find used reference books on coins

[RI AL]

Hello again.

 

I have been hunting for a few coin books, used and have had no success on E-Bay, Amazon or Abebooks.com. Is there a dealer that specializes in this kind of thing. Particularly hunting fro Liberty Seated Half Dollars and the Noyes book on large cents.

 

Thanks. RI AL...too darned warm here in the Sticks of Rhode Island for late October. I'm ready for SNOW!

Try Karl Moulton, Charles Davis and other numismatic books sellers.

Brooklyn Galleries is always an excellent place to start.

Thanks. The hunt starts tomorrow!

Try your local book store, they usually have the basics. If you want the complete guide to Morgan and Peace dollars try http://www.biblio.com/ That's where I got mine and was very happy with the results.

By the way Rial welcome to the forums, I'm Richard, and I know you'll enjoy it here.

Two prominent numismatic book dealers that I recommend are:

 

Orville Grady [www.gradybooks.com]

 

George F. Kolbe Fine Numismatic Books [www.numislit.com]

 

They carry out-of-print books and auction catalogs.

Unfortunately, the Wiley/Bugert book on Liberty Seated Half Dollars is very hard to find these days.

 

You might give these guys a call, though. They had a stack of them at the Baltimore show a year ago or so.

As mentioned the WB book on half dollars is out of print and very tough to find. The Noyes books should not be too much of a problem. Charlie Davis is the distributor for the Noyes books and last I knew he still had them available. (Although if you want the book on the varieties for the early dates it is only available as part of the two book set of early and middle dates. The middle date book can be purchased seperately but not the early dates.)

Thank you, guys.

 

The hunt is in progress as we speak.
