No ... sorry... my assemblage of Redbooks does not go back that far.. (I say assemblage, since I do not 'collect' them) Cheers, RickO

Maybe 2 or so years after 1952, so 1954 or 1953 Redbook?

I guess we all have assemblages of Redbooks. I probably have 20 copies in various locations.

I don't see much difference in prices (for colonials at least) between the 1951-2 and 1952-3,
so you should be fine with either.
I don't have either one; the past colonial prices are from the 1976 edition.

...... you're gonna need to get a Flux Capacitor for your DeLorean.



That should get you pretty close.

You'll want to find the 4th, 5th or 6th editions, they were'nt cover dates until the early 60's I believe
My oldest one is 1960, but it's cover only states that its the 13th edition

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure no one will honor those prices anymore anyway...

My oldest Red Book is from 1956, so we're getting
closer. I'm sure someone will have an earlier one.

ball pricing!!

I have the 1949 and the 1953-54 and 1954-55. Might have 1952 but I'd have to dig.

The 6th edition of the Red Book has a copyright date of 1952. You could look at that one or the 5th edition which has a copyright date of 1951. You need to be more specific about the coins that interest you. I have a set of Red Books.

From my tax courses I've understood that old editions of the Red Book could be used to establish the tax basis for coins purchased during the earlier editions of the book when other records were not available. The Red Book strated to go "off the rails" from my recolection in the late 1960s when dealers first offered to pay "100% of Red Book prices" for certain 19th century coins. Once the market for coins became more active, the Red Book prices ceased to be of great importance.

Realone, my 6th edition copyright 1952 has both the small and large 5c 1836 half dime going for
$3.50. The next edition copyright 1953 bumps both up to $4.00. Finally my edition copyright 1948 has them
at $2.50.

"Thanks, I would like to know what an 1836 unc capped bust half dime went for in 1852"
