Guide Book of United States Coins 2024 Spiral "Redbook" (A Guide Book of United States Coins) by Jeff Garrett
A great book for determining baseline values and mintage counts of every single coin that has been produced in the U.S. But, you won’t hardly see any notes on errors or special worth of the coins. You have to consult other books or YouTube videos for that.
I’ve been making my notes inside the book next to each coin that has particular common errors to look for.
This book is a must have if you are into coin hunting.
