<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 97036, member: 4367&quot;]As Mike said &quot;If you want to become a serious collector...&quot; but, serious collectors make up a very small fraction of coin collectors today just as they ALWAYS have.&nbsp; Most folks buy the RedBook as a quick and easy coin identification source to have next to the cookie jar.</p><p><br /></p><p>The vast majority of individuals who purchase the book actually have spent more on the book than they have tied up in coins.&nbsp; Somebody may buy a copy thinking the 1960-D quarter they&#039;ve had since childhood is rare or there is a (V) on their Peace Dollar...&nbsp; After checking it&#039;s tossed in the closet and forgotten.&nbsp; RedBook user&#039;s don&#039;t care about clashed dies, etc.&nbsp; But once in a while a safety deposit box is opened and miracles occur.&nbsp; Case in point is Mrs. Lee and the 1854-S Quarter Eagle.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I stated earlier, the RedBook is a midlevel tool used by individuals who don&#039;t want to or plan on becoming SERIOUS collectors.&nbsp; The majority and always so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bone[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
