<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2024675, member: 19463"]I have enough coin books that the lesser ones are in the attic but among my most prized holdings are some of my old auction catalogs. Of course there are good and bad in both categories but there are catalogs that should and do sell for prices that would surprise many of you. Conversely, there are books not worth the price of postage. Should I sell books that I consider not worth owning to people who believe any book is sacred? That depends on who is paying the postage. The number of books offered on Amazon for one cent and $3.99 postage (not necessarily on coins) scares me. Are there coin books that belong in this class. I believe I have a few. </p><p><br /></p><p>The gray jacket Sear is 1970, third edition (one older than Race's red one). I just got an ad for preordering the last of the 5 Millennium Sear volumes so it is about ready to exist as a whole after only 15 years. I don't have volumes 3 and 4 yet. Does anyone? Recommended??? I conside 1 and 2 nice catalogs but expensive and just catalogs for the most part. I would love to see how volume 5 handled the Falling Horseman listings and a few other things. I have not seen a 3 or 4 for sale at a show that was not cellophane wrapped so I don't know what I think of them and am not willing to pay the price to see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
