Lincoln Cent Books?

[LKLive13]

I have looked around but I cant find a thread with a good list of books. I have the Cherry Pickers Guide and the Guidebook of Lincoln Cents by Whitman but I'm looking for something geared more towards RPMs, Clips, Die Cracks, Off Centers, and other errors and varieties. I would like to find one that includes the 2009 Lincoln Presidency series with values and approximate mintages. I don't know if such a book exists but I just figured id get your thoughts. Thanks for looking!!

Arnie Margolis' ERROR COIN ENCYCLOPEDIA

Ken Potter and Brian Allen's STRIKE IT RICH

The out of print RPM Bible by James Wiles- THE RPM BOOK... he has it available on e-book

Those are just a couple off the top of my head, I'm a huge proponent of hard-copy books. PM me for other ideas, it's late and I have some pool games to play with Charity, lol.

One thing I forgot to add...while those are the books on my bookshelf, what I actually use for reference and attribution is either Coppercoins.com, Wiles' The Lincoln Cent RPM eBook, or the Wiles' Lincoln Cent Doubled Die eBook. You just can't beat the convenience of the online and eBook resources. That said, I do refer to my hard copy books quite often, but only when I can't figure something out using the electronic resources...Ray

Sweet... Thanks for the info. Do you know of any titles that cover the 09 Lincoln Memorial series? Those are by far my favorite to find errors on but I cant "price" them when I find something interesting.
