<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3281894, member: 84595"]HI. You can get the First Edition and the 2017 edition used at a flea market for about $10. I have seen them for $15 and then bargain down to $10. I have over $4,000 invested in old and new coin reference books on, counterfeit and altered coins, proof coins, Pattern coins, error and variety books, silver dollar books, VAM books, Cherry Picker guides and Big Red. Have they paid for themselves? You bet. I have cherry picked a pattern F seated quarter ($20), 1865 Doubled die reverse Indian cent VG ($5), MS 61 VAM 1878 44A Morgan ($50), 1891 Indian cent double struck in collar VG ($2), 1942/41-D dime F 15 ($2), lots of 1943/2 nickels, 3 1935 Double Die reverse Buffalo nickels, and too many more to list. All because I read and study the BOOKS. Oh, and I recently got a So-Called Dollar Wells Fargo at a flea market for $10. Vendor didn't know what it was. But I read the Big Red. Yes, buy the 2017 if you have the opportunity to. I always say, Buy the Book before you Buy the Coin. Happy New Year and Coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
