CoinAge .is an ok read. Better off to just buy the Redbook of coins. But as far as a magazine, coinage is a monthly periodical with assorted coin articles and fairy current prices.

Anna, here's a site where you can look up coin values:
http://coins.about.com/od/uscoinval...Find_Out_How_Much_Your_US_Coins_are_Worth.htm
And here's the book you want:

The only thing about the red book is it will indicate which coins are more valuable than others but the extimated values are nowhere close to what is actually being paid.
From my own experience you can take the red book value and split it in half 50% and you have an idea of what is closer to its "street" value.

The Red Book gives the prices you will pay a dealer.
If you want prices closer to what a dealer will pay, get the Blue Book:

Most people prefer the Red Book because they like to brag about the higher values. (The Red Book also has a lot more general info on US coins than does the Blue Book).
