newenglandguy New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/31/2009 05:52 am Have several sets of coins that I was left in a will. One is the St. Gaudens Liberty Miniatures. They are a mini $20. How do you find their worth? Also have a1995/1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Gamse set that is in a real nice wooden case. Has 32 coins in all. There are two trays of coins within the box, and it includes a key. Can anyone help me determine their worth? I know nothing about coins, as I'm not a colletor. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 03/31/2009 06:26 am The miniature Saint-Gaudens coins aren't official coins - they're reproductions, made for jewellery purposes. Most I've seen were marketed at 8 carat gold, so they're not worthless, but we're not talking about a great deal of gold in them - probably less than $10 worth. As for the set, I assume it's the one listed in the RedBook as the 32-coin one-of-each proof and Unc set in cherrywood box; this is listed at $9000. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
newenglandguy New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/01/2009 05:58 am Sap - thanks. What's the RedBook you're referring to? Again, keep in mind this whole coin thing is new to me. My father has always bought us those yearly proof sets through the US Mint. Can this RedBook be boughten by the average person, or is it something that is only available to coin dealers?

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 04/01/2009 07:51 am The standard catalogue for American coins is officially known as "A Guide to United States coins" by R.S. Yeoman. It's been around since 1947 and it's always had a red cover, hence it's nickname. Example on Amazon. Most coin dealers sell them, though right now they might have sold out of the 2009 edition; the 2010 edition of the catalogue is due out shortly, I believe. If you're at all interested in collecting U.S. coins, a RedBook is essential reading. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
