Is it worth upgrading from the 4th edition?

yes.

 

Why? Please be specific.

 

The addition of commem's and bullion was worth the upgrade for me.......

 

They've added some new varieties and earmarked some for the Appendices due to "lack of interest". These won't be dropped, its just that in the 6th Edition, they'll be moved from the body of the book (with pictures) to the Appendix sections (with no pictures).

Judging from your response, I can't think of a real good reason that you should run out and purchase one since other than the basic format and the addition of new varieties, its still Volume II of the CPG.

Perhaps at the next major show you attend, one of the supply dealers will have one for you to peruse.

 

My copy will be under the Christmas tree in a few days. I cannot wait to see it. :smile. TC

 

There are about 100 new additions to Volume II.

Are the transition cents in there ?

 

I hope Bill brings us copies to our next meeting in January. Conyers GA. I'm looking for the new book, that is to be out soon.

 

Mine should arrive tomorrow. I have been waiting a long time.

 

Volume II doesn't cover 1c-5c. Volume I does.

Yes. But the 5th edition of Vol I is not the new one that is upcoming. I got confused, and am waiting for the new ones too.

Thanks

 

Vol. I goes to the year 1997 on small cents. The next new Vol., I do not know what it will contain. I will ask Bill, when I see him, or I will email him and find out. Just found out. The new book will cover [FONT=font-family:segoe tv,Arial,Verdana] Half Cents through Commemoratives and Gold.[/FONT]

 

Sorry, am waiting for Vol ! 6th ED That's when a lot of later discovered cent dies are supposed to come out. LOL Got the 5th one already.

Too much data to process

 

Yes I know thank you. I thought that 5th edition Volume 2 would have those place have the most recent dates but it on the washington quarters it says 1932 to date and the last date they have in here is 2009.
