The 2027 Red Book also incorporates valuable collector feedback from the successful 2026 redesign, including:

New Release Schedule & Formats
Starting with this edition, the Red Book moves to a summer release schedule (wholesale shipments begin late June 2026). This change allows for more current market pricing and better alignment with major hobby events like the ANA World’s Fair of Money.
New formats will be available, including special collector’s editions with enhanced content celebrating 250 years of American coinage, plus online-exclusive bundles.
“For eighty years, the Red Book has been the foundation of coin collecting. With the 2027 edition, we’re continuing to evolve the book based on real collector feedback, ensuring it remains both timely and essential.” — John Feigenbaum, CEO of Whitman Brands
