However, pending on your necessity to spend money, you may want to check out flea markets, used book stores, garage and yard sales for a slightly older version. the latest is the 59th edition but if you just want an idea of prices, mintages, historys, coin disigners and other general information, a few editions old wouldn&#039;t be so bad. I&#039;ve seen older editions for $1 and people were bargaining him down from there.</p><p>Now if you want to spend some money go to the Whitman web site or just type in coin books and you can find many for lots of money. I usually get a Red book one edition old from a coin dealer I know for a few dollars but this lately coin boom made him run out so I had to buy the latest version. His price was $12 so I wonder where he gets them. but at flea markets you just don&#039;t ask. </p><p>Other things you may want to do if you have a printer connected to your computer is to call up web sites where there is lots of information and print out what you want. This way you can make your own book and fairly cheap. Try the coppercoins web site for instance if you want infomation on Lincoln Cents. That guy has over 7,000 photos of Lincoln Cents and has published 2 books on just that. I bought one of his books at a coin show and it is really great for information. Then there is the PCGS web site for prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
