[QUOTE="clembo, post: 1698071, member: 8033"]Books are part of the hobby as well and Red Book is a biggie. I actually own but a few copies but working in a a coin shop I recommend ALL collectors have at least one. We buy "new" copies from recent years and frequently give them to new collectors so they can reap the benefits of what is in those "silly" books. It's simply loads of information to budding collectors. Just as coins are history so are Red Books. Dating back to 1947 in Red Books case.. A Walker collector will pay extra money for a 1947 in high grade as a Red Book collector will pay extra for a 1947 book. There is a market for books as there is for coins. Go to everyone's favorite Ebay and you'll see. So why is a book about a book so silly I might ask? There are collectors for just about anything when you get down to it. Personally, I would drop a few hundred on a 1947 copy of Red Book a lot faster than I would drop $86,000 on a 1995W Silver eagle in PR70DCAM. Really? $86,000 for an ounce of modern silver? The book is WAY more interesting (and valuable) to me.[/QUOTE]
