Hello all!
I collected coins off and on as a child, focusing primarily on old US coins. Just recently (read "last night"), I stumbled upon some Württemberg coins on the Internet that seemed to pique my interest and I impulsively purchased a 1692 1 Kreuzer online that appeared in good condition for its age.
My gut feeling is that this is the start of a fun hobby and I was wondering if there were some books or sites specifically pertaining to these coins out there that I could use to get up to speed!
Thanks in advance!

The Go to books for collecting Württemberg coins would be this series of 4 books by Klein and Raff:
Die Württembergischen Münzen 1374-1693
Die Münzen Württemberg 1693-1797
Die Württembergischen Münzen von 1798 - 1873
Die Münzen und Medaillen der württembergischen Nebenlinien: Mömpelgard, Neuenstadt, Oels und Weiltingen
Being able to narrow down you collection and focus on just on a specific collecting area is to me the best thing that can be done for a collector in the long term.
Württemberg coins are quite vast as there are also the coins of (Württemberg-Mömpelgart, Württemberg-Öls, Württemberg-Weiltingen, The Swabian Circle and more)
If you like coins, medals and tokens with ship motives follow my new instagram account with regular updates @numisnautiker
From time to time I sell some coins on Ebay make sure to follow me @apuking on Ebay.
