2019 Redbook us coins

okay First gazing at this book it is a happy 464 pages that they couldn't claim from cover to cover. listen Clues obviously I Jag gantic forward and and honoring to Kim Bressit and the contributors of the book it goes through of course the introduction a list of contributors are welcome to numismatic... my personal like is the beginning when it deals with Colonial issues or foreign coins in the colonies it has got a lot more detail than originally hat from all the other books that I have had it has way more detail and it list of couple of coins that weren't in any of the books that have had prior

the meat or the Jess as I would like to put it on the book is pretty much the same as an all the read books it is expanded of course 2 the 50 state quarters all the new sets like the presidential dollars , scagawea , or commemoratives that have been added and the commemoratives... and the history is pretty much on point..


my complaints
now it's any book that you use there going to be some issues and my chief one is this apparently the pricing structure that they use to Value the coins is off a decent way off and although it be good for any average collector.. I don't believe it is exactly accurate...
I think if you are dealing with ungraded or hand graded coins the red book will be effective to help you get an idea of what the items will be worth but for serious collector that ii into certified or larger collected items it might become a little bit more difficult..

Thats cool. Speaking of pricing, yes, they are going to be off. I'm not sure why though!

 

Because it only changes once a year?

 

duhhh.....My brain isnt working. I need a labatomy

 

Due to its publishing schedule, the Red Book prices are not the most reliable.

 

It is a guide; more for information on coin types and specifications. Pricing is a ballpark to show only estimated values and rarity.

 

Coin shop in my particular area uses it as THE STANDARD for pricing his coins. Whatever is in his cases and whatever prices are there on them are all Redbook priced. So, grossly overpriced most of his coins are.

 

If the 2019 Red Book is out, that naturally means it had to go to print fairly early in 2018. From what I’ve been told by a knowledgeable sort, that means the prices are from some time in 2017.

 

I 100% understand

 

Where's that shop located

 

For the bes price I use Pcgs rcmr guide

qq

At Redbook prices?

 

yessir

 

Then we should be able to nail down a date range when the pricing was valid. Unfortunately, we can't and is because the problem with red book values has nothing to do with when or how often it's printed. The issue is where they get their "values" from in the first place and the fact there's an inherent conflict of interest within their approach.

Whitman used to have a webpage addressing this, but the last time I looked it could no longer be found.

 

I take no notice of what a recent catalogue states...Dont forget to have that 2019 red book produced in time to go on sale at Jan 1st 2019, it had to be done the previous year and if that is so, how come these know it alls in the publication business are not buying shares that will increase tomorrow as they know the future already...... With world coins, i use a book issued in 2000..YES 18 years old and i can assure you that my prices are fair....Not like the up to date items....OIO

 

Actually the Red Book prices are not always that horrible. You can definitely tell a valuable coin from a worthless coin and as long as you don't try and match them down to the last cent, but use as a guide, you could do worse.
