insideout Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 01/22/2008 01:10 am Whats the difference other than the binding? I bought the blue book cause the dealer said that the Red Book just has different binding. Report this Post to the Staff

rohumpy Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 01/22/2008 05:46 am The blue book is a listing of prices a dealer will pay you for your coin--i.e. wholesale. The RedBook is a listing of prices you will pay the dealer for his coins--i.e. retail. Having said this, the prices listed are not written in stone. RedBook is somewhat iffy. It is though good for comparing one coin to another. Report this Post to the Staff

I bought the blue book cause the dealer said that the Red Book just has different binding. If that's what the dealer told you, that might be a dealer to avoid in the future.

robert18 Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 03/11/2008 11:00 pm WOW, if the coin dealer told you that, like "deadmunny" said I would definitely stay clear of him. He either doesn't know what he is talking about or he is trying to pull a fast one on you. Report this Post to the Staff
gbchaosmaster Valued Member United States 328 Posts	Posted 03/13/2008 3:20 pm I don't think he'd be pulling a fast one, because the Red Book's prices are usually a bit higher than the Blue Book's (a dealer will obviously want to make a profit selling a coin). Both are, however, very good books. I own a Red Book, and it's like a brother to me. Report this Post to the Staff
