It doesn't look right. Maybe recolored?
It's a toss-up. I don't think either one is a clear winner. Right now there is a mania for any coin graded a 70, but in time this may pass. Buy...
It's marketing, but it does apparently add value with some collectors if it can be substantiated.

What's going on with the rim?
Most other collectors own a Redbook. Some never look at any other price guide. In that sense it is realistic because it is used. But looking...
Recognizing that prices in all books are outdated, I sort of prefer "North American Coins & Prices" put out by Krause because it covers more...
Years ago I took the family to Busch Gardens. With the paid admission ticket, they gave each adult two coupons for free beer. A lot of folks who...
I was thinking about visiting the Philly mint in mid-August. They didn't say anything about having permission from a congressman, but they...

That's a nice coin. I'm not good at grading but it looks to be a high end EF-45, almost AU-50.
You obviously have more talent that the folks at the Mint. You should apply and maybe we'd get more interesting looking coins that the cartoon...
I agree. It's better at that price than bullion.
If they permit you to pay by credit card, the credit card company will handle the foreign exchange and usually give you a fair rate.
The last was the 2007 Redbook. I was thinking that it's time to get another book, and I have a 25% off coupon for Borders this weekend. Maybe...
Separate names with a comma.
