I have the Lyman Allen 6th edition of U.S. Philippine coins (2008 - 2009). Is there a 7th edition available yet with the updated prices and new variety discoveries?

This is the email I got from the new author of the US-Phil Book.

I have just started a new project with USPI as I am taking over the Lyman Allen book and am trying to write the updated next edition. This will keep me busy and I hope to have it done by early next year.

New author? What happened to Lyman Allen?

New author? What happened to Lyman Allen?

Lyman Allen's health as you know is preventing him to continue this project so he decided to sell his rights to the guy name Tom Culhane. Anyone know who Tom Culhane is?

Maybe Tom Culhane of  "The Elusive Spondulix".  www.rarecoin.com

Oh my bad, missed the n on his last name, but tha's him. Thanks for correcting it.

Does anyone know where i can order a copy of

Lyman Allen 6th edition of U.S. Philippine coins

?thanks

Ray Czahor should have it, or there is one on ebay starting price at $9.99. Good Luck!

ok i saw it.thank you very much.

I just bought a 1st edition copy, signed by L.L. Allen, #'d 55 of 100, for under $50

I am beginning to wonder if Tom Culhane is even going to publish a new revision of the Lyman Allen catalog....  The values are in desperate need of updating.

How do you determine the price when selling coins without the new revision of the catalog?

From my experience, for PCGS graded coins, you take the listed price in LA, and multiply it by 1.25 (or up to 1.4) for the expected sale price.  It just depends on availability of a given coin.

Would this apply to fully RED coins or you use a different percentage?

Well,  there is no exact formula, but having a more scarce coin or specially attributed coin (i.e. RPD, RPM, DDO, RED cents) should definately add about 15% to the value, imo.

Met Tom Culhane Saturday, September 10th at Illinois Numismatic Association 52nd Coin & Currency Show at the Tinley Park Convention Center in Tinley  Park, Illinois. He hopes to get the book out next year. Picked up some nice raw PI coins from him. Unfortunately he didn't bring any slabbed ones.

The new 21012 7th edition of US/PI COINS is now out. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251054425049?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Thanks for the heads up. Was there a drastic change in price? Any new feature added?
