U.S. Coin Book December 21, 2008
Excellent price, very informative on coins, I buy one every year for my son for Christmas for his collection. Well written easy to understand.
Best Coin Guide December 20, 2008
For the begginer and intermidate collector. Of course when prices of silver and gold change you have to take that in consideration if buying or selling
Red US Coin Book November 12, 2008
Great book. I am new to collecting and selling coins. This gives me a basic idea of the value of coins I buy and sell. Of course book value and what a seller can get for a coin may be very different, this book helps to at least give me a starting pint.
A great reference book for coins September 9, 2008
This book has all the information that I need in finding what to look for in the grade of a coin and the price of that grade. I always go to this book before I buy a cion, to see if the cost is in the area listed.
 #1 Best Selling Price Guide: the official RED BOOK a guide book United States Coins, R.S.Yeoman ed. K. Bressett. Whitman 2009 September 8, 2008
#1 Best Selling Price Guide is a MUST:
The official RED BOOK a guide book to United States Coins R.S.Yeoman ed. Kenneth Bressett, 61th edition, Whitman, 2009.
Best in organization, easy of use, pictures, illustrations, & data, also the most popular. Whitman's RED BOOK is an essential guide, indispensable requisite and required handbook with up-to-date numismatic information.
Best of the best in the area of numismatics have contributed to this volume, the most notable, respected, knowledgeable and distinguished numismatist were consulted for the 61th edition.
165 plus prominent coin collectors auctioneers, and museums contributed directly to the 2009 Red Book Guide, Bressett, Jeff Garrett, Tom Hallenbeck, Steve Contursi, Ira & Larry Goldberg, Bill Fivaz, David Akers, Silvano DiGenova, the Smithsonian Institution, Heritage Galleries, the ANA money museum, Stack's Rare Coins, Superior Galleries, the United States Mint, and several dozens more.
The guide has some problems, notable some errors occurred and as I mentioned earlier "All" prices guides without exception are outdated by the time is printed, mainly due to market conditions, collector interest, commodities volatility, speculators, currency value, supply & demand, among others.
Numismatics is a hobby as any other do not expect a handsome return on your investment, at least not a monetary one. Have fun. Good luck.
