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 ...

Believe it or not, I'm reviewing yet another Official Red Book from Whitman, this one devoted to Peace dollars. Of course, with only 24 different date/mintmark combinations, the Peace dollar series is considerably shorter than most series to which an entire book is devoted.
As a result, there are some obvious differences between the layout of A Guide Book of Peace Dollars and other Red Books devoted to single series, such as the ones for Morgan dollars and Lincoln cents. Although the overall length of the book is similar, A Guide Book of Peace Dollars has larger print. Also, as you would anticipate...

On January 9th, 2010, George Frederick Kolbe/Fine Numismatic Books will offer for sale at public auction the remarkable numismatic library carefully assembled over seven decades by the New York numismatic firm founded by brothers Morton and Joseph and ably carried on by Norman, Benjamin, Harvey, Susan, and Lawrence Stack.
For over fifty years, the fabled American portion of the library has resided in antique bookcases lining one wall of Harvey Stack’s office, and along the opposite wall as well.
Other portions of the library were, for many years, located throughout the main floor of the firm’s New York City retail location at 123 West 57th Street and many of the great classic works on ancient and foreign coins and medals were carefully arranged on the second floor in the Coin Galleries offices...

The slender paperback I'm reviewing this month is completely unlike the typical books I review in that it wasn't written to make either the authors (James L. Halperin and Gregory J. Rohan) or the publisher (Ivy Press, Inc.) a ton of money. In fact, it may even be a money-losing proposition.
Instead, The Collector's Handbook is an educational piece written by two of the principals of Heritage Auction Galleries and edited by Steven Roach, J.D., who is the director of trusts and estates at Heritage. Although the book, with a copyright date of 2007, has a list price of $14.95, I found it new on Amazon for as little as $3 plus shipping or used for as little as $0.33 plus shipping...
