    I bought edition 4 as my first book when I dove back into collecting 18 months ago. It was a right decision. This book seems to contain all the same info/photos from the other Whitman books -- info on history, collecting strategy, photo grading, photos of significant varieties, etc. Obviously the price charts go a bit stale, yet, it's the best all-in-one reference book I've found so far.

    My strategy is about collecting what I intend to keep, not investing in what I plan to sell.

    Last one I got, I cut into 4 sections. Far easier to use.

    I believe the Fifth Edition came out last Spring. My guess is the sixth edition (2021) will be out in a few months.

    I purchase and keep every one, since each edition has its own LENGTHY detailed section on a separate subset of coins. Makes for a great reference!

    A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
