1980 Blue Book!

Here is my very thin 1980 Blue Book. The reason it is so thin is because there were very few coin design changes back in the day. Today we have 5 different quarters, 4 presidential dollars, and 1 new Sacajawea dollar coming out each year making newer coin books very thick very fast. Whereas in the 1800's and 1900's a coin design would normally be used 30-50 years making coin books and information sources of the time much thinner. The price tag says $2.95 but the Abebooks.com is selling one for $8.00 which seems fair for a nice example unlike mine with the yellowing of the paper and the minor damage on the exterior. It's very inaccurate pricing most coins well below modern values and like I said earlier only has a fraction of the coins modern books have.

(NOTE: I have been mostly using my iPhone to post lately so pictures of coins look very fuzzy and overly reflective.)
