in the Washington Quarter listings/prices. The 1932-S is listed having a mintage of 40,800,075. I'd bet that this would put a twist in the undies of Wash. quarter collectors.

Ooops,

I would have thought stuff like mintages would just be copied and pasted from one revision to the next. I wonder how that can happen. Never having published a book myself, I may be thinking about this in too simple of terms.

There seem to be a lot of errors in the 2005 edition

Proof reading is not in the lexicon of coin / currency book publishers. Criswell's 3rd edition cover reads, "Confererate...". If they can't bother to get the cover right, it has to make you wonder about the work product inside.

All of this is why my wise old granddad used to say "believe only 1/2 of what you read"

There is probably lots of errors in the Red Book and other coin books. The Red Book lists the Liberty Head Nickel 1913 as 5 made but someone on this forum said there are really 6. Coin Book Error?
Check out this one on page 359 there is a listing of past Red Books. I always check it out because I collect them. Notice the 1995 , soft bound edition which was issued for 7.95. In VG or F condition it is now 800.00. However, if you kept it in great condition such as VF or NEW the price drops down to 1.00 and 3.00
So if you have that book, beat it up so the value will go up.
Anyone know of any other errors in that book??????????????

If you think that's bad, look in the 2004 red book. The mintage of the 1932S shoots up to 408,00075.00!!!

Thats whats good about the PCGS census reports. They include mintages so can double check behind the Redbook and other sources.
