From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Guide Book of United States Coins(Redbook), by Richard (R. S.) Yeoman, ISBN 0794820395, is a pricing guide for United States coin collectors, and is considered one of the most authoritative coin-price sources. It has been published annually since 1946, except in 1950. The book is the longest running annual coin price guide.
Its hardcover editions have a solid red cover, resulting in the book being referred to as the Red Book. It also comes as a paperback or spiral bound book.
The "Red Book" lists the retail value of all United States coins from Colonial and pre-federal State Issues to all circulating issues as well as commemoratives and modern day Bullion coins, as well as other significant U.S. patterns, private and territorial gold, Hard Times tokens, Confederate issues, Hawaiian tokens and coins, Philippine issues and Alaskan tokens. It also shows Issue Prices and Current Values of Mint sets and proof sets.
A facsimile of the first edition was published in 2007.
