For me, I like the Red Book and Scott Travers' Coin Collector's Survival Manual, and I try to get new releases of both when I can.

As far as periodicals go--I love Coin World, the Coin Dealer Newsletter- Greysheet (its essential) & Coinage has good articles from time to time.

Was just reading the S. Travers book last weekend! Another GREAT book is the The PCGS Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection--I re-read that one last Summer. I used it to authenticate a 1932-S Washington quarter that I had purchased in MS really cheap. This book is not only interesting but VERY practical.

 

For me--Of course The Complete Guide to the Walking Liberty Half Dollar by Bruce Fox (that's the Walker Bible) and I have just purchased Anthony Swiatek's Walker book-- "The Walking Liberty Half Dollar"--that was long overdue.

I buy the greysheet, but probably don't use it enough to justify the expense. However, every dealer uses it, so I figure I'd better speak the same language.

The Scott Travers book is by far my favorite, and I believe that it was my first coin book ever. I think I bought it even before the "Redbook."

I used to subscribe to CoinAge, CDN Greysheet, Coin World, Numismatic News and the Numismatist, but I've had to let all of those subscriptions expire now that I'm on a fixed income.

 

I don't bother getting the Red Book every year since I'm not buying any new releases from the Mint. What's the point? I never used it for pricing anyway, and everything else is the same.

 

I really enjoyed reading Hoot's occasional articles in CW's Coin Values, but I ended up selling about five years worth of Coin Values for $75.

Krause Standand Catalog of World Coins, all centuries. I have a complete set back to the first issue in 1972.

 

Coin World Almanac

 

And for some reason Penny Whimsy. I have Early American Cents and all of the different editions of Penny Whimsy including both printings of the 1990 edition (God what a HORRIBLE edition. If you want a copy of Penny Whimsy do NOT buy the 1990 edition.)

I buy a hardcover Red Book every year because I have a complete set and wish to maintain it.

And I get the The Numismatist because I'm an ANA member.
