Whitman Publishing announces the release of the newest edition of the Whitman Guide to Coin Collecting.  The guide, popularly known as the “Yellow Book,” includes chapters on coin collecting as a hobby; places to find coins; how coins are made; venues to learn about collecting; getting started as a collector; caring for a coin collection; grading techniques and standards; coin prices and values; commemoratives, bullion, special coin issues, counterfeits, medals, tokens, casino chips, and more.

Illustrated with 672 full-color photographs and other images, the Whitman Guide to Coin Collecting also includes charts, lists, an illustrated glossary, a bibliography for continued learning, and an index for looking up information.

“Generations of coin collectors know Ken Bressett as the senior editor of the ‘Red Book,’” said Whitman publisher Dennis Tucker, referring to the annual Guide Book of United States Coins. “More than 24 million copies of the Red Book have been sold since 1946, and Ken has worked on the book since the 1950s. He’s also served the hobby as president of the American Numismatic Association, and as an educator, researcher, and author. He’s the perfect teacher to introduce new collectors to the hobby.”
