blackjack Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 4:40 pm I don't even like The Red Book anymore. Seems to me it was a lot better. It no longer tells how much silver is in a coin, for example, and the pictures are lousy. A few months back baseball21 steered me to Numismedia and I'm happy using it as a guide. Buy a silver round with the Red Book money. You'll have something. Report this Post to the Staff

It's not to say they always get that much buts that's what they're trying to get. ebay is the one venue where you actually can generally get the same prices dealers would, sometimes more, reselling a coin as opposed to being boxed into the grey sheet bid prices Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 11:05 pm Although I have used the Red Book for an in-hand listing of mintages and for the reading material in it, O was soured on its price listings form the start. Back in the early 70s I got my first copy. When I found the reality of the situation was the standard pricing book made me, as a kid, think I had a lot more value than what I did, I was not happy. Ever since then I never took the prices it quotes as being reality (and you can see others here pretty much agree). Sold ebay auctions probably help me the most when pricing.
