Regarding the knowledge of coin collection, there are now many channels to obtain, especially in the internet information age, open the computer, mobile phone, it is easy to find the relevant information, but for most collection enthusiasts, there are several books on hand, handy tool books is the right way.
Speaking of numismatic books. My earliest contact was Ding Fubao's "Ancient QianDa Dictionary". The book now looks a bit outdated. But in the '80s, it was the "Bible" in the numismatic collection tools. Friends who like ancient coins, just take a look at this book.
The Concise Numismatic Dictionary, edited by Sun Zhonghui, Shi Xinbiao, Zhou Xiang, etc., was issued in 1991 and is a relatively comprehensive numismatic reference book. The book introduces the early knife cloth coins and square hole coins. Copper coins, nickel coins, gold and silver coins, etc. In particular, this book adopts a coin scarcity scoring system, which can be said to have a clearer direction to the price of the coin market.
Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House published "China Spends Money" in 1992. It is a tool book about winning money (spending money). The book is more detailed about the introduction of various types of winning money. There are also scarcity labels.
In the mid-1990s, Hua Guangpu wrote a series of numismatic books. He labeled scarcity directly as market price. In this series of books, there are ancient coins, copper dollars, silver coins, paper money and so on. It's also a good set of reference books.
Earlier than Hua Guangpu, there was also a series of banknote books edited and published by Xu Feng and Zhao Longye.
For this set of books. I think it is an essential tool book for money collectors. The book uses the scarcity rating method. List details. Simple and easy to understand. The downside of this book is that there are a lot of omissions and some minor errors. But the flaws do not hide the jade. Many years after the death of Teacher Zhao Longye. His friend republished the series of books, with a color page edition, and the binding was much more exquisite.
Zhou Xiang edited the book "Treasures of Paper Money in the Qing Dynasty" published by Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House. Beautifully framed and luxurious, but the content is decent.
There are too many reference books on coin collections right now. Mixed. But most of them are hardcover, copper plate color pages. The illustrations are numerous and beautiful, and the actual content is very little.
It is recommended that you choose the one with detailed content. Practical. Numismatic books written by everyone. Books written by anonymous authors who pay attention to beauty, exquisite graphics and text should be selectively referenced.
