On page 221 of the Red Book, there is a mis-print. On the first line at the bottom of the page you have:

1878, 8 feathers........(500).....749,500 ... ( this line is ok, its the next line thats messed up )
1878,7 feathers.........(250).....9,759,300.. 30....40....50....65....these prices don't belong here, there shouldn't be anything after the last 0 in 9,759,300.

How'd you get a 2012 Redbook already? :D

Y'know, I'm looking at the 2011 book, and to me this is the version that looks incorrect. There should be 3 separate values, no?:

78, 8 feathers
78, 7 feathers
78, 7 over 8 doubled feathers

It has 5 value in the 2012 edition

1878, 8 Feathers
1878, 7 Feathers
1878, 7 Over 8 Clear Doubled Feathers
1878, 7 Feathers, 2nd Reverse
1878, 7 Feathers, 3rd Reverse

I don't see where the error is, i'm assuming the first 1878, 7 Feathers line is for the normal reverse

Really? Guess I'm the fool that bought the last 2011 book then :lol:

Been trying to find the lay-flat softcover edition anyway.

The first reverse went with the 8 tail feathers dollar. That leaves two reverses, the second and the third. But the 7 feathers dollar appears 3 times (disregard the 7/8 for now) How could the second reverse apply to two of the same dollars with different pricing? I have a 2009 red book and those figures aren't there. I have looked at a friend's 2011 book and they aren't there either. It was bugging me because I have an 1878 7tf and I wanted to know which was the correct pricing. Its a mis-print. Save the book, like error struck coins, this book will gain in value and we'll all be rich. HaHa.

Abe is right, they come out around march. I got mine in april.
