In 1946, a slim but fact-filled book hit the hobby scene: R.S. Yeoman’s Guide Book of United States Coins. This April, Whitman Publishing will release the 60th Anniversary edition of this beloved, best-selling hobby guide, known everywhere as the “Red Book.” The Red Book prices more than 6,000 coins, with nearly 30,000 individual values. Of course this comprehensive pricing isn’t the only reason collectors have made the Red Book one of the top-selling nonfiction titles in publishing history. A solid foundation and 60 years of numismatic scholarship have built what many collectors call “the Bible of the hobby” –a single resource that teaches a little of everything about American coins; a reference jam-packed with facts and figures that researchers go back to time and time again. More than 700 new full-color photographs, updated mintages and coin values, new auction records, additional pattern pieces, expanded coverage of Civil War tokens, and the latest commemoratives, sets, and other coins. Full color throughout; illustrated; 417 pages, edited by Kenneth Bressett.

Guide Book of US coins 2007,
This review is from: A Guide Book of United States Coins (Paperback)
I have had earlier editions of this book, known as the "Red Book" to collectors, for years. This latest edition is greatly improved with better pictures and expanded coverage, including US minted coins for the Philippines as a US possession, for example. I highly recommend this book to both the novice and seasoned collectors as an essential guide in identifying and valuing US coins. This book contains enough information for the reader to learn how to grade and value coins and know which coins are rare or collectible. There is good information on the history and development of the US mint and the process of making coinage. This book exemplifies the addage, "buy the book before the coin".

This review is from: A Guide Book of United States Coins (Paperback)
This series never gets old. It been around for over 50 years. It the startand for Americna Coins Guide Pricing. But as any expert knows this is only a guide book. But it a starting point on getting you started on valuing coins. It always good to have one ofthese books if you have alot old coins. Remember becasue they list a price that does not mean you going to get that price for it.
