Coins Unlike the 'Professional Edition'. The most complete listing and guide of United States Coins available anywhere.
Professional Edition Official Red Book: The 'Professional edition' lacks any information on some series entirely such as modern commemorative coins from onward, Proof and Mint sets from onward, which makes the 'Professional Edition' completely useless for anyone researching these items. In addition, the mintage information for new series listings in the standard edition is more up to date than the 'Professional edition' as well. Overall the standard edition 'Red Book' is a better buy for anyone not needing the expanded information of the 'Professional edition' graded population figures, additional pricing information, etc since the standard 'Red Book' has the most current information and includes listing information on ALL U.
Book will tell you everything you need to know about coins. Pictures are included and make coin errors easy to see what you need to look for. Grading info ia also included at the beginning of each section. This book will keep you busy. I now have to tell people to get one of their own, due to them coming to my work to look coins up for them.
A very good buy for both pro or amature collectors! I have used this book for many years as an information source to help keep my coin collection organized and up to date. The "Red Book" is trusted and recognized by other collectors and dealers everywhere. What I like about this particular format of the book, is that it features a looseleaf spiral binder and print that is easy to read without squinting or using a magnifying glass! Also, because it is so logically organized, it's easy to skip from one denomination to another quickly.
Additionally, it is richly illustrated with pictures of the coins and contains information to help assign grades to your coins. You need to understand that the prices in this book are average retail prices at the time of printing, which is done in the spring of the year for the following year; e.
So, the further you are away from the print date, if you have a particularly valuable piece you wish to sell or trade, you may want to check another source prior to selling. With gold and silver prices going nuts these days it's difficult for anyone to keep up with current values! While precious metal prices do not figure heavily into collectible coin prices, they do have some impact. There is also a companion "Blue Book" by the same publisher that has basically the same information but lists dealer prices instead of retail.
I would say that the Red Book is an absolute "must have" for the collector because of its recognition by others, respect in the collecting world and complete ease of use. Coins at a Bargain Price.
