<p>[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1806369, member: 22331"]I personally believe that purchasing the Red Book would be a waste of money, as both the standards and pricing are generally unrealistic, in a "business" where "market grading" is often the standard, and pricing is often a variable unrelated to lists. I believe patient shopping on eBay, using the advance function, will garner better cost effective results than the "Red Book". If you use MS in your search criteria, you'll also be able to establish the relative market grading "standards" for the various TPG. These TPG standards often vary considerably from each other, and the books' published A.N.A. technical standards.</p><p>I personally agree with Tom and Lehigh, as I strongly collect DMPL and PL condition Morgans, and have found some great buys in the early "1880s" coins.
