NGC 30th Anniversary Red Book Promo

NGC - A limited number of the NGC 30th Anniversary Official Red Book are available for free to qualifying NGC Collector members and NGC Authorized Dealers. See instructions below.

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®) and Whitman have created a special NGC 30th Anniversary edition of the 2018 A Guide Book of United States coins, also known as the "Red Book." Only 2,017 copies of the NGC 30th Anniversary Official Red Book® have been printed.

This special edition combines two numismatic icons: NGC, the world's largest third-party coin grading service with more than 37 million coins graded, and the Official Red Book, the world's most popular coin collecting guide with more than 24 million copies sold. Founded in 1987, this year NGC celebrates its 30th anniversary of providing expert and impartial grading services. The Official Red Book, which has been published since 1946, celebrates its 71st edition.



NGC's 30th Anniversary logo is featured prominently on the front and back cover of this special edition Official Red Book. The book's spine also indicates that it is the "NGC 30" edition.

The NGC 30th Anniversary Official Red Books will be given for free on a first-come, first-served basis to qualifying submitters. See below for submission instructions and restrictions.
