2003 redbook printing error

I'm sure I am not the first to notice this but on page 98 none of the columns line up correctly. The line for the grades is shifted over 1 column too far to the left. Therefore the price under the VF heading is actually the F price and the EF price is actually the VF price e.t.c. Being I am a Lincoln guy and the fact that a have many coins from this page that I am planning on selling this fall, this makes me kind of mad. Maybee there was only a small batch of books that have this error. Can you let me know if all of your new Redbooks have this same error?

    Another board member,and a good friend of mine Mr.Lee bought a 2003 Red Book a month or so back that had the pages after page 64 all askew. In the back of the book there's a section that talks about error Red books, upside down covers etc.that have become collectors items so you might want to hang on to it and buy another that you know is ok.

    ferd,

    These were generated by computer as you know... and IMHO someone forgot to delete the "G-4" which would have automatically put the "Quan.Minted" back in the correct position... and also forgot to add the grade of "MS-65" to the last column... page 98.
    On page 99 they deleted the complete column of MS-60 grades. leaving rm for values of Proof-63s ; it was in that year of 1936, you know, that the proof sets had begun to be sold publically, erzats, the shift ... This is all my Humble Opinion.. of course...

    Yep. I've got the same thing. Probably all of 'em are that way.

    That is cool. Mentioned on page 343 as "probably the best known of the error books."

    It looks me like someone simply left out a tab. Move the entire header line to the right and it looks just like the previous page.
