Whether your dad, mom, or grandpappy worked for Whitman has no bearing on the fact that the Redbooks are replete with errors. Mostly mintage figures, but many other errors as well. TYPOS and EDITING........ Quite frankly, Give me $75,000-$100,000, and I assure you, I will edit every single entry as to correct mintage, values given for the grade (transposed values) , and any typos, or missing pages. As I have been editing all my own REDBOOKS with footnotes for many years, this is not difficult to do...... Of course, the Redbook IS the most important coinbook ever published. The fact that it is in the 61st edition bears this out.[/QUOTE]
