This book is chockablock full of really super information. As such it weighs at least ten pounds. I haven't owned a red book in years, at least 10 likely more mostly because I didn't get much out of it. I bought this because I read that a new section was to be included about So-Called Dollars which is true, but more on that later.The Red Book, as most of you already know, is the authoritative general reference used by coin collectors and dealers to get general, and some specific information about pretty much all of the coins issued by and for the people of the United States (and British colonies) and its territories. As we've matured as a nation and indeed as the research has grown more and more categories of numismatics have become sought after and eventually legitimized by inclusion in this book.The 2017 Mega Red book is the culmination of what we "know" about the state of United States coins and coin-like material. One of the excellent things about this expanded format is that it gives the editors the opportunity to become downright chatty in their discussions of coins which makes the articles pertaining to their respective subjects that much more lively, informative and entertaining. The book begins with a broad overview and then drills down by topic to include just about everything you'd want to know on a casual basis.The reproductions are done in color and this book is lavishly illustrated, even going so far as to include close-ups of many of the sought after or notable doubled-dies, die details and markers, and mint mark/lettering varieties. The book also includes quite detailed grading information for the various coin series and pricing information (estimates and some actual auction results).Modern bullion coins are given their own sections too.
