2 comments about The Official Red Book: A Guide Book of Washington and State Quarters Dollars (Official Red Books).

1. This book isn't nearly as detailed as Bowers book on Morgan dollars.
   
   It has little detail compared to the Morgan dollars book



2. A Guide Book of Washington And State Quarters: Complete Source for History, Grading, and Prices provides a very specific, detailed resource for quarter collectors which pairs a history of quarter issues with tips on assessing coins, buying wisely, and valuing quarters from 1932 to date. Illustrations in full color throughout make identification easy - along with a grading guide and the latest values. Any coin collector specializing in quarters must have this.

1. The Coins And Banknotes of Palestine Under the British Mandate, 1927-1947 by



2. Besides all of the coins and banknotes, also dealt with is the puzzling "1927 Holyland Token." Whether this "token" with a minting of only 500 copies was meant as a limited type of currency or a souvenir of Palestine has never been definitively answered. A middle-section of color photos along with many black-and-white ones--both kinds sharply focused allowing for inspection of details--aid collectors in studying the currency during this brief period in a small area of the Middle East and in making comparisons with specimens at hand. Berlin's five pages of references lead readers to more specialized, detailed material than what is succinctly contained here. Berlin is the author of more than 30 books, most of these references and guides to different subjects; and he holds three patents.



3. Howard Berlin's book, The Coins and Banknotes of Palestine Under the British Mandate, 1927-1947, is the perfect reference for anyone interested in collecting this series. The Palestine Mandate period provided the prologue to all the current tensions of the Middle East, and the design of the coins and notes was done in such a way as to give all the communities living there an equal and unbiased monetary system. As an "accidental" collector of the coin series, I was particularly impressed to learn of the great rarity of some of the coins and in particular of the higher denomination banknotes. I definitely recommend this book to any serious collector.

1. Do you have old coins around the house and wonder what they are worth? The Blackbook will give you an idea, based on condition, plus what coin dealers are offering across the country. It should give you more confidence when dealing with a coin dealer.
   
   The book is clear and easy to use



2. Excellent reference material. I received a bag of old coins collected by my grandfather. I knew nothing about the values, so I purchased this book. Every single coin was listed, even those minted by US territories/possessions. The book was shipped quickly and was exactly as described.

1. This book gives excellent coverage of the general background knowledge of British and UK coinage in just the right amount of detail. There is so much that I have learned in addition to the basic mintage information. Other books don't really compare. The organization is excellent, the illustrations plentiful and the historical information significant and interesting. In addition there are "collecting hints" boxes by each issue that offer advice to collectors about what to look for in obtaining a specimen. The vintage photos of coins being minted are an added bonus, although the book could be printed on better quality paper considering that it is a hardback. The price seems quite high, but that may be because it is now out of print. That's my last complaint....why did it go out of print???? A new edition with more up-to-date prices would be great. But still, the information inside this is worth the five stars...it is a book that you can sit down and read, not just a "price list." Any collector of UK coins should have this ref in their library.
