Since 1942, coin dealers have used the annual Handbook of United States Coins—the OFFICIAL BLUE BOOK®—to make buying offers. You can use it to find out how much your coins are worth! The Blue Book’s price listings offer a real-world look at the coin market, gathered from dealers around the country.
