Poll Question
I don't see a reason to update them every year, as they aren't used as a price guide...I think every 5 years would do.

Interested in seeing what everyone else does.

Thanks for participating...Mont.

I said other. It is random. Looking at my set of books, the shortest gap is two years, the longest is eight. My most recent is now three years old.

I voted other as I recently purchased a 2017 upgrade to replace the 1965 I've been using.

That is pretty much the vintage of my most recent one too. I'm no longer focused on US coins, so it doesn't make sense for me to spend money on them. I did just purchase Malloy's, Coins of the Crusader States. The cover is red I think.

I used to get a new one every year but now I only get a newer edition if it is cheap. Usually that's when a dealer is trying to clear out some old inventory.

I voted other as well. My newest is the 2017 deluxe edition but the one before that, which was my first RedBook, was a 2008 edition purchased in 2012 at a thrift store.

I also put other. I purchased the Red Book Deluxe First Edition for the information on the half and large cents. Before that, my last one I purchased was in 2004.

T-Falls.....I have a 1958, a 1964, and a 2014, but I voted other. I also have the 2007 nickel guide which I probably use the most.

I'll go to one of the many coin shows in April and get the hard cover for about $10 and a few of the ringed versions too.
Rest in Peace
