<p>[QUOTE="lakebreeze, post: 97267, member: 2720"]Just at RANDOM, I opened the Redbook to page 177, then I opened the Bluebook to the matching page on Walkers. If you look at the 1945P, the Redbook has the mintage at 31 million, the Bluebook has it at 3 million for the same coin. Whitman puts out both books and these figures are from the same year 2005. Say you were bidding on coin that is listed at 3 million mintage and you buy it based on that information, what you would think when you discovered that the real number was in fact 31 million?? You say the correct numbers are my responsibility, well I've never come across a book that says, Hey! we are THE source of accurate information. If a 28 million difference in numbers is O.K. with you, well so be it. Man I hate typing. Even tho ( though) it's minus 6 outside I have a date for a midnite (midnight) snowmobile ride and it's going to be a lot more fun than this conversation. GOOD NITE![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
