    Its in really good shape, the new red book has it listed at 6 bucks, do they sell for more than that or would 6 bucks be about it. Thanks!

    It does say up to $16.00 in new condition, but $6.00 in very fine condition is it's collectors value at this time.

    There's a 1961 Red Book on sale on Ebay for $24.99 (Buy-it-now) right now. Doesn't necessarily mean it will sell, of course, but Ebay is usually a decent guage.

    It really depends on who the buyer is. If you put it in an ebay auction you may get $3 or you may get much more it just depends. It's certainly worth keeping that's for sure but I would keep it for informational purposes rather than sell it. Someone else mentioned a BIN on ebay. BIN's are usually sky high and most of the time have no bearing on what you could actually get for it. :kewl:

    okay, I waited.

    Sorry but the 1961, unless it is NEW has little value.

    Ignore the idiots on eBay.

    Sorry about that.

    What Frank said......

    If you want some good info on collecting the Red Book you really should invest in this:

    A Guide Book of The Official Red Book of United States Coins: by Frank J. Colletti, available everywhere. Falls into the buy the book before the book line of thinking.

    What Red Book is that coin price in?

    I have a 1949 Red Book in very good condition, though I don't seriously collect them.

    I was at Borders book store today and they had 2010 redbooks for $3.99. I also saw a 2011 supersize red book for 29.95, I don't think so...
