<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 650714, member: 66"]If you are going to tell her to get a Redbook, it would be a good idea to tell her the actual name of the book. If she goes into a library or bookstore and asks for a Redbook she's going to get a women's magazine. </p><p><br /></p><p>Debbie the book you are looking for is A Guidebook of United States Coins by R S Yeoman. It is a really good book. Get it or borrow a copy from the library and READ it. Not so much the prices, they are the least important thing in the book. But read the introductory material, the descriptive material and grading information at the beginning of each coin type, ad so on. There is a wealth of information in that book. And if your library has an older copy from back before Q David Bowers wrote the introductory material that would be even better. The 60 page intro written by Yeoman and Bressett is the best concise history of United States coinage I have ever seen. Bowers rewrite is nowhere near as good. (If they don't try a used bookstore, copies that are several years old can usually be had for a couple of dollars.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
