5.0 out of 5 stars Another GREAT book!, July 5, 2006

By	Joseph M. Thompson "numiswizard" (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 2006 Handbook of U.s. Coins Blue: With Premium List (Handbook of United States Coins (Paper)) (Paperback)

Yet again Kenneth Bressett and R.S. Yeoman have outdone themselves. While not as detailed as the "Red Book", this book tells you, or gives you an idea, of what a dealer would pay for your coin. VERY valuable if your bidding at auction. You'd be suprised at what coins "trend" for then what a dealer will actually BUY them for. Sometimes about 1/4 of the trend. Great book if you don't want to get "suckered" into a bidding war!

5.0 out of 5 stars Coin values., November 24, 2007

By	David A. Cohen "Musical guy" (Jackson (Hole) WY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, if you're looking for a book of coin values brokers will pay, this is the book for you. The writing style is kinda dry, but it's just a book of information. If this is the information you are looking for, get this book. The presentation is nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for a coin collector's library, February 8, 2008

By	Dave S "davestam2" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

Gives one a real insight into Red Book prices dealers may charge. If you collect coins, this book to gives you a true understanding of what you can expect to receive when selling vs. what you pay when buying in a coin shop.
