Does anyone remember the little pocket books Stack's put out in the late 60's - early 70's

I remember buying one every year, it was my bible as to what to look for, I wish they still put one out, it was a great resource for quick information.

Anyone still have theirs?

    I remember them. They would list Stack's buy prices for various US coins. For the most part, they were low ball offers.

    Sure do-I remember they were sold at grocery stores. I don't think I have any left, tho.

    Even less frequently seen was a monthly price guide-I believe printed by E Strauss-called the "Yellow Book" of coin values. Anyone remember this one?

    Yep-low ball all the way. And, if I remember correctly, only two grades-Good and Fine-were listed. I guess you'd get the "fine" value if you sent them an AU or UNC coin.
