Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 326182, member: 4552"]With the massive increase in coin colllecting lately there are many, many items appearing on the sceen such as the complete set of 1982 Lincolns, all 3 Mints from the 1943 Cents, One each of the War Dated Nickels, and on and on and on. Individuals, organizations, so called grading and coin companies are coming up with these more and more. Usually come in a small plastic thing that appears to have been made just for that purpose. Same with special folder for the State Quarters, Baby sized dollars, commemoratives and so on. Even a constant new grading service and tons of new books. This coin boom is sort of like watching all the how to become rich things on TV not long ago with hwo to buy properties with no money down. At the last coin show I was at there was guy with about 3 tables full of coin books, 2x2's, boxes for 2x2's, binders, folders, albums and many other things for coin collecting but no coins. I was amazed at the books. There were books on just about evey type of coin ever minted and the were big and expensive and all were selling. So what is next? Coin hood ornaments on cars? Coin Martini sticks for the Olives?[/QUOTE]
