[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1342959, member: 112"]Let me see if I can something across to you. And I'll apologize in advance if this seems harsh. You are looking to by a car. So you look around, find the model and year of car you want, and check the asking prices. Then to find out if those prices are fair or not you get your copy of the Flintstones comic book to see how much the cars should cost. In a nutshell that is what you are doing when you check the value of coins in the Red Book - you are going to a comic book and then trying to find some comparison between what's in the comic book and the real world. If you want to know the mintage of a certain US coin - get the Red Book. If you want to know the metallic composition of a certain US coin - get the Red Book. If you want to know the date range that a certain US coin was minted in - get the Red Book. If you want to know a bit of the history of a US coin or who its designer was - get the Red Book. If you want to know even the approximate value of a US coin - THROW THE DANG RED BOOK IN THE GARBAGE CAN ![/QUOTE]
