These are so cool to go through. Here is mine from 1969, I got it from my father many years ago, and he got it from my grandmother. Below it is an article she clipped out of a newspaper on the Standing Liberty Quarter design, and has it as a book marker for those coins in the book.
These old price guides are fun to look through. I have a small number of very old auction catalogs...some in the late 1800s. If only we could get those coins at those prices. Bruce
And one from the mother of my wife’s friend. I helped sell the collection. All I have left is her Blue Book and a coin. 1928 P Peace Dollar
I have the 1965 Blue Book and Red Book (my birthyear), and the 1976 Red Book (the year I started collecting).
Now, see, here's a good counterpoint to the old "boy I wish I'd bought a bunch of coins at those prices". The Blue Book gives prices you can expect dealers to pay you for coins. So... aren't you glad that you didn't sell a bunch of coins at these prices? Hooray!
