<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 13005, member: 57463&quot;]Thanks for the summary.&nbsp; As noted the purpose of the book is right up front and the first words are &quot;coin values.&quot;&nbsp; We can argue price guides all day long, but the only price that matters is the one paid at this moment by these people.&nbsp; Everything else is either history or speculation.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many collectors miss seeing the Bibilographies.&nbsp; These citations to other books identify the books you need if you are going to specialize.&nbsp; Large Cents and Bust Halves have long traditions of expert writing.&nbsp; Seated Dimes are little less well explored, perhaps...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One other point is the fact that everyone else has a Red Book, too.&nbsp; If you read carefully, you will see lots of little anomalies in prices.&nbsp; Bust Dimes are one: 1837s have half the mintage of 1831s, but the same price.&nbsp; Therefore, are not the 1831s underpriced and a great bargain?&nbsp; But if everyone knows that, then they cannot be &quot;underpriced.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
