The book is "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" By Charles Mackay. It explores the various bubbles markets that had played out prior to 1841, when it was written. The tulip mania of 1637, South Sea bubble of 1711-1720 and the Mississippi Company of 1719-1720.

It gets reread and referenced during or after every bubble since then - Dot-com, WI extra leaf, Housing, etc..

Strong bids for toned coins does not, I believe, fall into the classic bubble mentality, since the buyers are buying natural works of art - similar to mineral collecting or art. Buyers can choose not to buy minerals or art, but don't tell anyone collecting them that are "nuts" for doing so.
