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.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Prices not "written in blood",
By
This review is from: A Guide Book of United states Coins 2007 (60th Edition)(Spiral) (Spiral-bound)
As a beginner coin collector, of course this seemed to be the "gold-standard" book to buy to let me know the value of my coins. But, I have quickly learned that the "Red Book" tends to over-value coins. Don't expect a dealer, or even other hobby collectors to offer you the prices quoted in the Red Book. I recommend that beginning collectors ALSO buy "THE Offical Blue Book, Handbook of United States Coins". This book will not give you the "retail" prices that the "Red Book" will, it will be closer to what dealers will actually offer you !!

A must have for ANY collector,
By
This review is from: A Guide Book of United states Coins 2007 (60th Edition)(Spiral) (Spiral-bound)
This book is a must have for any starter or experienced collector. It not only shows trends for every US coin produced, but info on hoards, private and territorial gold/coins, and detailed info on each coins production (weights, diameters, metal compositions) so one doesn't get "duped" by a fake coin. Love this book

By Mary Knoll "Mary K." (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide Book of United states Coins 2007 (60th Edition)(Spiral) (Spiral-bound)
This latest (2007)publication by expert authors gives up-to-date+ values of coins. The color representations of coins is also helpful. The spiral binding allows one to hold the book open while examining one's collection coins with a glass and comparing with photos in the book. The history included with descriptions enlightens and enhances reader's knowledge of the coin of the land. Great book, recommended highly.
