Very nice!  Another thing on my list of things I will get if and when my budget allows. Quote: So...what exactly is in this book that's not in a regular RedBook? More pictures? Additional info? Varieties? https://goccf.com/t/201045#1852931 |

I thought the standard RedBook was a concise tome of info. But this definitely takes it to another level. |

@ Celtic...... Are the Colonial/copper sections worth having?

Are the Colonial/copper sections worth having? To the seasoned copper collector probably not. The colonial section is a little bit expanded from the standard Red Book but not much. The section on Half Cents is very cool with full color plates of most known varieties. The early large cent section has full color plates of all the Sheldon varieties. Unfortunately the middle and late date large cents have no Newcomb varieties just the major varieties in the standard Red Book. |

Maybe next year they'll do the middle date variety plates.

I always bring my phone (obviously) and a graysheet if I go to flea markets or coin shows. I usually have ebay up and have the PCGS price guide in case all else fails. I stopped using red books in 2013, just simply because I'm sick of buying them every year, and plus, the prices really are more realistic with graysheet pricing. |
