Legendary MEGA RED Catalog Returns, More Powerful Than Ever

Whitman Brands™, a leading full-service provider of data, media, and product distribution for the numismatics and collectibles marketplace, proudly announces the return of the legendary Mega Red: A Guide Book of United States Coins, Deluxe Edition in an all-new tenth edition—bolder and more powerful than ever.

Mega Red X delivers the most comprehensive and fully updated U.S. coin catalog available today. This supersized companion to the Official Red Book® features more coins, more varieties, deeper pricing, and fresh research—including a landmark special feature covering more than 130 years of $5 Half Eagle gold coins (1795–1929).

Building on the legacy of R.S. Yeoman, Q. David Bowers, and Kenneth Bressett—and energized by current editors John Feigenbaum and Jeff Garrett, alongside more than 90 leading experts—Mega Red X spans the full spectrum of American coinage, from colonial issues to the latest United States Mint releases.

“Whether you’re building a collection, researching a rarity, or pricing for today’s market, Mega Red X is one of the most important catalogs ever published on United States coins,” said John Feigenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer of Whitman Brands. “This tenth edition reflects the collaboration of dozens of contributors and the most current data available anywhere in print.”

With more than 18,000 listings of coins, tokens, medals, sets, and related collectibles; over 100,000 market values in up to 13 collectible grades powered by Greysheet®; a streamlined, collector-friendly design; and more than 1,000 pages of authoritative content, Mega Red X sets a new benchmark in numismatic reference.

New highlights include featured chapters and essays by Jeff Garrett, Beth Deisher, and Paul Gilkes; cross-references to major variety attribution systems; expanded coverage of patterns, significant varieties, misstrikes, and error coins; upcoming U.S. Semiquincentennial coinage; and enhanced integration with Greysheet Identification (GSID) catalog numbers.

Editor Jeff Garrett added, “This tenth edition represents a true team effort and a major step forward for advanced collectors. We’ve expanded the depth of pricing, strengthened our research, and added important specialty coverage—especially in areas like Half Eagles, varieties, and modern issues.
