COIN "COLOR" HELP NEEDED !!!

Just want to know if anyone out there can post some pics of wheaties in their different color variations. All these darn price guides with black and white photos are NO HELP! Cannot find a website that shows the differences either. BN (brown) - RB (red-brown) - RD (red). Most of these look the same to me (VERY subtle variances) and it's driving me crazy without visual representation of each. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - DD-777

Much thanks to you and PBK. I was told that the "Redbook" is not a true indicator of fair market value. I'll end up getting one regardless - need to be on the same page with everyone else...

I have the Red Book and just use it as an indication of what a coin "might" be worth. Probably the best way to find a true value is to check for it on ebay. That shows what a person is "actually" willing to pay. That's the best indicator I have found.

while the redbook is lousy for values it is priceless for closeup photos of the differences in varieties. They also show you where to look for the mintmarks. Anyone who doesn't think the mint marks are important should look up the values of the different 1895 silver dollars. siegfried schlagrule
