<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3568178, member: 84179&quot;][USER=102913]@Tlberg[/USER] I strongly recommend buying a copy of A <b><i>Guide Book of United States Coins. </i></b>Called the Red Book, it is filled with invaluable info on US coinage.&nbsp; The pricing section may not as accurate as other sources, but it has weights, compositions, mintages, short historical sections, and even some basic info on grading parameters for circulated coins.&nbsp; Chances are that when somebody posts the mintage of a of a particular date, or the weights, they got it out of a redbook (That&#039;s what I do).</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be willing to bet that nearly all of the experienced collectors of US coins had a redbook when they started.&nbsp; It&#039;s the best $10-15 a new collector of US coins can spend on the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
