If any of you are interested in these Books, feel free to PM me. When we first did this a while back, I offered to contribute $5 toward each persons books for the Security Engravers Group. That offer still stands if you are interested. In light of the Last Thread about Books, in order to receive any information from me, you will have to PM me. The Books are available to be personally dedicated to you by the Author. Let me restate that I get nothing for this.... period! Regards, RickieB
There are a bunch of wonderful engravings posted at http://www.cointalk.com/groups/security-engraving-vignettes/, which is the official home of the group. But most of the discussion is in this paper money forum right here. You're welcome to "declare" your interest in the topic, and if you feel like contributing our main output is the weekly write-ups from the various members. Dave
Thanks to RickieB and to Mr. Hessler. My box of books arrived in yesterday's mail. A very pleasant surprise when I returned from work. Let me add that the Comprehensive Catalog of US Paper Money was also included with my Engraver's Line -- also signed -- and without any charge to me for it. That was wonderfully kind. The books look wonderful and I will have to spend a bunch of time digesting them. This will be a great pleasure from what I've seen so far. In addition to the two books, I received two vignettes and the December issue of the SPMC magazine. Wonderful. I can not express enough how pleased and thankful I am.
I also recieved the engravers line and the intl engravers line yesterday along with a vignette and an issue of the SPMC magazine. Thanks a lot RickieB and Mr. Hessler for this opportunity again!
North49guy and Art: I am pleased to know your books arrived for you. It seems that Mr. Hessler is keeping track of who has what and is sending extra material from the kindness of his heart for you guys. Trust me when I say I had nothing to do with it. I simply communicate with him ever so often. what I have come to learn that he is a very generous man with an incredibile amount of Numismatic knowledge. I also send him a personal "Semper Fidelis"..what a great man he is! RickieB
If anyone is interested, please let me know. As of March 1st I will no longer cover the extra $5 for this book. My Thanks to Mr. Hessler for his prompt responses and mailing out your copies for you. He covered all postage and threw in some nice perks as well. :thumb: So let's here some noise for Gene..in the event he reads this, let's all say a Thank You . Best regards, RickieB
***Bump*** Last call for some great information in thes books... March 1st I will no longer kick in the $5 RickieB
He last posted in April of this year, and it has been 2 and 1/2 years since his last post on this thread above. Maybe someone will give more info. Welcome to the forum! Jim
Check amazon, they are both available from that site. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&field-author=Gene%20Hessler&ie=UTF8&search-alias=books&sort=relevancerank
Dear Friends: I have recently received 2 request's for the book's that were offered here 2 years ago. I am sorry to say that no, this deal is not available in the direct fashion it once was. As USS656 has pointed out, they are avail from Amazon. Many of you know that I have been pretty sick and not posted in a while. That has not changed any as I feel not too well these days. I will not go on about the maladies of my affliction, just know that once in a while I read the threads and rarely post any longer. The majority of my collection has been sold and it is depressing to say the least. I wish all of you success in your collections and overall knowledge you have gained. I will long remember the fine group of folks here and the participation in the Engravers Group. Shortlived as it was, it had a educational impact toward many of us. Might I add the fact that Mr. Hessler is a great person for how he helped us and the knowledge and priviledge he extended toward us all. God Bless you all and may you stay safe ad healthy. All the best... RickieB
