[QUOTE="Pilkenton, post: 842810, member: 23961"]I know the Red Book is the bible for coin collectors. I've got one, a 2010. I use it to compare prices on ebay. I used to buy the magazine price guides. For the collecting I do, one magazine would last me a year or so. The only reason I got a Red Book was because the local Waldenbooks was going out of business and I got it for two bucks. But what I notice about the Red Book is the grading doesn't go any higher than MS-65. The silver Eagles are only graded Unc. and proof. With all these coins now being graded MS-69 and 70, what am I supposed to use as a guide? I find the magazine price guides have higher grades, and I'm constantly looking at a six month old magazine just to get a feel of what the coin must be worth. You would think the Red Book guys, knowing their reputation, would add these higher graded coins in their price guide.[/QUOTE]
