<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 503020, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;ve come to understand that the red book will remain consistent for many coins that don&#039;t fluctuate a whole lot.&nbsp;&nbsp; You may look up a Morgan and it will list it for 50.00 and you might run into a dealer that&#039;s looking to get 60.00 for it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Other types will get left in the dust through the year, such as some Lincoln cents that got really hot throughout 2008.&nbsp; The redbook will probably update big time in the 2010 to reflect some of these changes.&nbsp; It&#039;ll be out in a couple months.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I think the red book is a decent guide to get you in the ball park.&nbsp;&nbsp; If there&#039;s a coin that you&#039;re really not an expert on, it can be a quick reference to let you know that this coin should be in the 50 to 100 dollar range and not 150 to 200 range.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Prices will be in constant change.&nbsp; Nothing printed can keep up.&nbsp; Each sale can be an individual, unique deal, depending on how good the eye appeal is.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just keep all this in mind when looking.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The redbook does occasionally add information and pictures on varieties&#039; in certain series&#039; each year that some may find interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; IMO, the red book is cheap.&nbsp; You don&#039;t need one but if you want one, just get it and don&#039;t worry about it.&nbsp; I routinely spend more than a redbook on dining out for an evening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
