[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 1058775, member: 19456"]And now I see why they are referenced so often as being essential reading. Let me say up front, I am not a fan of auctions. As a general rule I find them distasteful and more trouble than they are worth, I wouldn't do them at all if I wasn't missing out on stuff otherwise. I went online at home in 2000 and didn't even join Ebay until 2006. Back in September I visited an antique shop that didn't have a single coin, but they did have a copy of the Heritage Catalog from the Boston ANA. They only wanted $20 for it so I went ahead and bought it. I paged through it breifly then but I really didn't do any actual reading of it until yesterday. I am really enjoying seeing the large, clear pictures and reading the descriptions. I am especially enjoying the error, pattern and gold sections, as they are things I don't get to see in person, and in some cases this catalog is my first experience with them. This is definitly something I'll keep handy and pull out and look through from time to time. I have not read everything yet but I will in time. Not sure I'll shell out $50 to get them when they are new, but if I can find any others marked down I will not hesitate to buy them.[/QUOTE]
