Found some stuff, wanted to get your thoughts. Redbook has increased advertisements throughout, which is one thing, but errors and omissions are worse in my opinion. https://youtube.com/shorts/XCHlPmh7hvI?feature=share
Those are pretty minor. Almost everything in the Barber Silver Coins red book about hub types is wrong.
I am disappointed with the coverage of the commemorative coins. The historical write-ups are all gone. All that's left is pictures. The trouble is the mint is issuing so much "junk" that the boook will have to leave off information or be made into two volumes. The British did that years ago with the decimal and pre-decimal Sovereign British coin guides.
Oh I've found a few. I don't have the patience to find every one, but the most obvious ones, and probably not fair to hold against them, is when they try to predict what will come out, or they assume something proposed will actually be approved, that ends up never coming into existence. I have the 2nd edition that in the section for Walking Liberty half dollars, has a listing for one minted in 1948... that never existed, because that's when they switched to the Franklin design. (One of my favorite thrift store finds; I found this at a Goodwill store for $1! Reasonably good condition, so how could I not get it!) Another one has listings for silver versions of the presidential dollars; this was proposed at a time, but never ended up actually being approved. I'm not a huge fan of how the 2026 book was organized, and some details just disappeared entirely. It also doesn't match the other hard back Red Books on the shelf. Surprised nobody ever mentions that lol. The new 2027 Red Book comes out some time in July; hopefully they fixed some of the issues. Guess we'll see.
The Charlton guides for Canada also split out all the not-for-circulation gunk into a separate volume years ago.
