SELL / RECOMMEND me a good reference/guide book of LINCOLN WHEAT CENTS

6 posts in this topic

Hey guys.

 

I'm getting back at collecting U.S Cents, and at the moment working on a set I like to call "Yonico's CENTury set" , since it consists on a full century of cents, 1859-1958 (first Indian head cent to last wheat cent). Trying to do it more seriously and thoroughly this time, some I'm doing some extensive research before I'm buying any coins.

 

currently reading the "official guide book of flying eagles and Indian head cents" by Richard Snow and it's extremely helpful and resourceful, with lots of information on every date and mint of this series.

I know there's a similar book about Lincoln cents written by David Bowers, and planning On purchasing it very soon.

 

I'm looking for more guide books of Lincoln wheat cents,

 

if you have one for sale it's great.

 

If you can recommend me one you've read before and found helpful, thats great, too.

 

Not looking for just plain price/mintage guides, but for these books with more info, facts, collecting help/challenges and history.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Johnny
