2010 Red Book, New Professional Edition
Those interested in coin collecting will soon have another valuable tool available in their arsenal for building a great collection. Shipping on October 13th from Whitman Publishing is The Guide Book of United States Coins - Professional Edition.
Many will immediately say to themselves, but I already have the guide, commonly known as the Red Book. Almost everyone in the industry, from young coin collectors to seasoned dealers, has been using the Red Book for years (it is currently in its 63rd edition).
It has become a necessary reference that is used to not only identify a coin with its thousands of colored pictures, but to also give an idea as to what the value might be based on its condition and rarity.
The Professional Edition of the Red Book, however, takes this resource one step further. Perhaps not as handy to carry around a coin show as the standard version, the new book is geared more towards the intermediate and advanced collector.
