im looking for a reference book which contains the name "Bruce" M numbers or it shows "Bruce" and a page number. also, theres a reference "Sch" and a number that im looking for.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. Is there a particular auction or type of coin about which you are seeking information?

The Bruce book with M numbers is called something like Unusual World Coins and it is put out by Krause and available on Amazon.

 

The only book I can think of that uses Sch is the Schaaf book for German patterns. This book is the standard reference book, but it is out of print, though can be found fairly easily.

Im looking for a reference by Schroeder on Chinese coins, old coins. It may be an older reference, didnt see anything on amazon.

Albert Schroeder? He wrote books on coins from Annam.

Linus wrote the ones on China. Lucy was the editor....

Are you sure it isn't Schjoth that you are looking for? It was one of the major references on Chinese cash coins for long time. The book Chinese Currency by Fredrik Schjoth was published in 1929 and reprinted in 1965. Until Hartill came out it was the primary english language reference for Chinese cash. You might see cash cataloged using S, Sch, or Schj numbers.

 

"Bruce" and M numbers might be a reference to an early edition of Bruce Colins Unusual Coins of the World published by Krause.
