<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 2053612, member: 13650&quot;]If someone is starting from scratch a simple redbook is filled with good info.&nbsp; They&#039;re common, inexpensive and can teach a beginner very quickly how things began and how we got where we are at.&nbsp; The beginning and end of the book is worth a read for beginners.&nbsp;&nbsp; The middle is filled with everything available to collect.&nbsp;&nbsp; The price guide may be off but at least its going to give some ballpark estimates to the beginner.&nbsp; It will show errors and varieties to look for. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; It will show an 09-S vdb is worth a hefty sum compared to the rest of the series.&nbsp;&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter if the price is off.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; At least it quickly illustrates that its not a $10 coin.&nbsp; Most are going to be in the 800 to 2k &#039;range.&#039;&nbsp; If somebody wishes to pursue pricing info further than that, they can.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I think we could&#039;ve trimmed pages off of this thread if we could agree that peoples interests vary greatly in how they wish to enjoy the hobby.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Some may be fly by night collectors that may be here today gone tomorrow and could never commit to reading a book.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;Others tend to be more intellectual and may enjoy the education of reading just as much as buying a coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;So then people want to have a long debate over who is right or wrong when we should be offering advice, tips and yes maybe even books.&nbsp;&nbsp; And if someone doesn&#039;t like the advice, they can choose to ignore it and move on while some may accept it and benefit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
