Greysheet is excited to announce the launch of The Red Book Podcast, a new online series hosted by John Feigenbaum, Publisher and President/CEO of Whitman Brands, and Jeff Garrett, Editor and President of Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries. The podcast delves into the rich history, fascinating stories, and exciting updates surrounding the legendary A Guide Book of United States Coins, affectionately known as the "Red Book" for its distinctive cover.
The 2026 edition of the Red Book, set for release in Spring 2025, will mark the 79th edition of this beloved numismatic classic. The upcoming edition features a complete reimagining with a redesigned cover, larger format, more than 12,000 listings, updated pricing by the Greysheet team, and more.
Publisher John Feigenbaum shared his enthusiasm, saying, "The Red Book has an endless number of stories and angles to explore. This podcast gives us a unique opportunity to share those stories and connect with the hobby in a fresh way."
The first two episodes of The Red Book Podcast are now available on YouTube and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, boasting 100% approval in the "likes" department. In Episode 1, the hosts introduce the 2026 edition and discuss its enhancements, while Episode 2 goes further into the nuts and bolts, diving deeper into pricing updates and details like designations for full band dimes and full head quarters.
Editor Jeff Garrett added, "The Red Book is the bible of the rare coin industry, and this podcast allows us to bring its legacy to life. Our goal is to explore a virtually limitless range of topics and invite special guests to share their stories and expertise. It’s an exciting project that truly celebrates numismatics."
The first two episodes of The Red Book Podcast are available now on the Greysheet YouTube channel. Collectors and enthusiasts are encouraged to listen, comment, and subscribe to stay informed about future episodes and updates.
