 2010 Red Book Guide to
United States Coins Professional Edition 1st Ed/Yeoman (Spiral)
The Professional Edition is a new and enlarged version of a hobby classic,
the “Red Book.” Its expanded content helps intermediate and advanced
collectors and coin dealers build their collections and make smart purchases
and sales.
The book is physically larger than the regular-edition Red
Book (almost 50% larger, at 8.5 x 11 inches), and spiralbound for convenient
reference.
Expanded features of the Professional Edition include:
Expert guidance on striking and sharpness characteristics for each coin
type-valuable information when inspecting coins for purchase.
Insight on
availability and condition rarity for each type.
Detailed grading
instructions, including for Mint State and Proof coins.
Certified
population summaries, for every date and mint mark including the number
certified, the average grade, and the percent in Mint State.
Expanded
valuations, expanded grades for each date, including multiple Mint State and
Proof levels, plus Full Bands, Full Bell Lines, Cameo/Deep Cameo, and other
specialized designations.
Auction records for every coin listed.
Additional die varieties in every denomination, with close-up photographs.
Informative chart notes that expand on the history, characteristics, and
market values of important coins.
Detailed research and market
information on early (pre-1858) Proof coinage, including gold.
High-quality, full-color photographs of both circulation-strike and Proof
coins, for every type.
Enlargements of key focal points and varieties,
many more than in the regular edition.
The Guide Book of United
States Coins, Professional Edition, is the perfect single-source numismatic
reference. Investors, intermediate and advanced collectors, dealers, and
auctioneers will benefit from its immense wealth of real-world market
information on every coin ever struck by the U.S. Mint. Tens of thousands of
copies will be printed and sold, and we predict it will take its place as a
popular annual companion to the regular edition. Federal Issues: Half Cents
through Double Eagles, Plus Classic Commemoratives and Proof Mint Sets.
Softcover, Full Color, 8.5 x 11 inches, Spiralbound, 384 Pages.

 Money of the Bible/Bressett (Hard)
Money and coins are mentioned many times, and in
many places, in the Bible. To the casual reader1, these might sound like
abstract or symbolic references, but to numismatists (people who collect and
study money), they tell stories with deep significance. Coins give us a
running commentary on biblical events in a way that no other artifacts can
supply.
No fewer than 16 of the 40 parables preached by Jesus mention coins or
money. Famous author and historian Ken Bressett has examined all of these
references.
