<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 1791471, member: 6641"]These showed up on my desk this morning. A co-worker had said he had some books stored away from an estate that I could have if he came across them again. Well over the weekend they resurfaced and they made it to me after a year of waiting. I love the 1936 "The Star Rare Coin Encyclopedia." If I could only go back in time and pick up a few of these coins listed at the prices in the book. Example - 1856 FEC - copper - $5.00 to $10.00. today's prices $7,000 to $20,000. $500 short of $1,000,000 in profit. Imagine opening that roll today <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I can dream a little. </p><p> </p><p>The "Major Variety and Oddity guide of United States Coins" is also pretty cool.</p><p> </p><p>Had 2 non coin related packages show up today that I also post in the General Section.
