    (yes, I realize this thread is many years old... I didn't bump it)
    I find the best educational links are that of auction sites, and numismatic sale sites. Nothings better IMO than a site that shows you exactly what coins are selling for, and what the demand is for them.
    Pros:
    - Teaches you how to grade to generally accepted grading standards
    - Shows you market acceptable prices
    - Shows you the demand for certain coins
    - Shows you how available certain coins are

    I am brand new here and at coin collecting and this site is primo for supplying useful [Thanks National and others], and I believe honest information, that helps us. Another site I joined-about to unjoin-was just a hook to advertise their wares.

    Not shameless self promotion but rather, a friendly reminder that much educational information can be obtained from tuning in. Pardon me as I don my head phones........:)

    The Red Book contains all the official info about US coins, dates, mints, mintage numbers, weights, sizes etc. It also contains what they call retail values for the coins. Problem is, the values listed are so inaccurate they are worthless.

    The Blue Book does not contain as much info about the coins as the Red Book does. And it is supposed to contain the values that dealers will pay for coins. But those values are so inaccurate they are worthless as well. Don't ever buy a Blue Book.

    The Red Book is like the bible for collectors of US coins. Every collector needs one. Just don't pay any attention to the values listed.
