"A Guide Book of United States Coins 2008 (Red Book)"
It's been many years since I've had this book. All of my expectations were satisfied. This book has been the "Bible" for US Coinage as long as I can remember. If you want to understand grading, pricing, or just want to learn about an important piece of American history, its worth the money.

"Great Book on Coins"
I enjoy looking up the value of each coin before we buy so that I know whether the price we are willing to pay is within the range of the price in the book.

"Outdated but useful"
While useful and informative and, indeed, a must if you deal in coins, this book is quite outdated. Since the price of gold and silver have gone up considerably and change daily, the effect on coins is intense in many cases.

There are several sites online where you can get more up-to-date information. Yet having this handy is a good idea. I like having something near my work area and in my hands so I can quickly look up the information I want. Then I can follow that up by going to one of the Web sites.

"Excellent Buy"
I get this for my dad every Christmas, he is an avid coin collector. It's the best annual catalog of coins available and the only one he asks for. I will continue to buy year after year and recommend anyone with a coin collector in the family to do the same.

"Great purchase"
Tried to find this book in book stores around christmas, but decided that Amazon would be the most effecient use of my time. Ordered the book and it was here in a few days. You've got to love Amazon.
