The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and Whitman Publishing have unveiled a special 30th-anniversary edition of the 2018 A Guide Book of United States Coins, which is commonly referred to as the “Red Book.”
This special edition combines two numismatic icons: NGC, the world’s largest third-party coin grading service with more than 37 million coins graded, and the official “Red Book,” which is the world’s most popular coin collecting guide with more than 24 million copies sold.
Only 2,017 copies of the NGC 30th Anniversary Official Red Book have been printed.
The ‘Red Book’ retails for $24.95 Cdn.
71st EDITION OF THE ‘RED BOOK’
Founded in 1987, NGC celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The “Red Book,” which has been published since 1946, celebrates its 71st edition.
NGC’s 30th Anniversary logo is featured prominently on the front and back covers of this special-edition Red Book. The book’s spine also indicates it is the “NGC 30” edition.
The books will be given for free on a first-come, first-served basis to qualifying submitters to NGC.
For more information, see the guidelines below.
