Walter Breen Encyclopedia

Hey friends of my blog. Surely, most people reading this are coin collectors to some regard. Whether it be in world coins, US coins, or metal detecting. Being as such, I thought I'd tune you in to a great resource online for not only being able to ID US coins via the web, but also learning their history, and how they came to be.


Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of US and Colonial Coins is available in a full version online, completely free to the coin collecting community. In my opinion, it's a great resource for those who don't actually own items like the RedBook... plus I mean, it's free!


Currently at the website you must register for a free username and password, which also means you have to agree to receive newsletters and other possibly spam type emails. HOWEVER, I have the answer for you. Just as there are username and password's circling the net for access to Sanborn Maps, as is there to this. So please friends, feel free to use it and indulge yourself in knowledge.


5/23/09 UPDATE: BREEN BOOK ONLINE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO SOME UNKNOWN ISSUES.
