Message:: [QUOTE="ndgoflo, post: 30683, member: 367"]I can see the need and it is easy to justify spending a couple hundred dollars on one book for a series/topic that you are devoted to, but I had never even heard of jetons until I started this thread. Kinda sparked a little curiosity in me. Smart enough to know to buy the book before the coin. After all, the first coin book that I ever bought (besides the 1997 Red & Blue Books) was Breen's Encyclopedia. My dealer was shocked to see that I was willing to drop $100 on a book so early into the hobby. But he was the one who would sell me his unsold back issues of Coin World for $1.00 an issue, and with the knowledge gained from that, I knew that it was a worthy investment. Now, in order to justify spending $300-$500 on a reference to something that I just learned of, well, I would have to totally drop my U.S. collecting, and concentrate on jetons. Which I'm sure would be fun and fulfilling, I have just worked pretty hard on my U.S. and I'm not sure if I'm ready to do as GDJMSP has. Although, with the U.S. market booming, alot of new collector's may not end up sticking around by the time the State quarters end. Sooner or later the U.S. market may come crashing down, and until then maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to collect something else.
