Review: Buy this first and even if you have multiple other coin books. Excellent...truly EXCELLENT! - There is a tremendous amount of information in this book. It does list a price for the coins but don't use this for a price guide. This is a coin history book. The print is easy enough to read....not microscopic, which seems to happen sometimes with these big reference books. Each coin has information on it. The coins are all U.S. colonial up to present. For folks collecting, or ever just considering coin collecting, this is the book to buy. There are books, excellent books out there about specific coins. This book covers all the coins. History folks would enjoy this book also, not just coin collectors. A tremendous amount of history here. If you are specializing in one or two coins you can buy those specific books but any coin collector actually NEEDS this book. This book will cover many many other books, so if you don't want to or can't buy multiple books get this one. We have been collecting for over 15 years and are extremely pleased with this book and are letting go of a few previous red books....we simply won't be using them anymore. Excellent book. Review: An Erudite Encyclopedia of United States Coins for the Beginning to Intermediate Collector - A scholarly, well-crafted, and accessible text that provides a plethora of facts, figures, and engaging stories about our country's numismatic history, along with most of the contemporary knowledge necessary to become an advanced collector. I say 'most', because, as other reviewers have noted, some coins receive less attention than others. If you specialize in a particular series, e.g., 20th century dollar coins, you might consider a text that focuses exclusively on such coinage. But if you're looking for a comprehensive text that will provide the essentials on all U.S. coins, with encyclopedic coverage of the most popular series, e.g., Lincoln wheat cents, I highly recommend spending a little more money for this text versus the standard edition. Nothing against the venerable Red Book, but the Mega Red provides five times as much information for less than three times the price. It's like getting a 1916-D Mercury dime in AU-50 for the VF-30 price. ;O) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,046,862 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,215 in Antique & Collectible Coins & Medals (Books) #3,420 in Antiques & Collectibles Encyclopedias | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 77 Reviews | ## Images ![A Guide Book of United States Coins, 2nd Edition: The Official Red Book, Deluxe Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VcY+P0pTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this first and even if you have multiple other coin books.

It is a must have book for anyone interested in United States coins. Besides the coin pictures and prices, there is a ton of information about the coins. It is a hard book to put down. It peaks your interest and is educational. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26181626-a-guide-book-of-united-states-coins-2nd-edition-official](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26181626-a-guide-book-of-united-states-coins-2nd-edition-official) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
