<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1539229, member: 112&quot;]The coin supply stores will send you printed catalogs for free, usually several times a year. All you have to do is ask for them - once. After that you&#039;ll get them forever.</p><p><br /></p><p>But with coins, that&#039;s a different story. There are a few companies, like Littleton, that put out catalogs and they will send them for free. But the coins are usually high priced, and once you are on their mailing list they will send you coins to buy, on approval. In other words, you didn&#039;t ask for the coins, but they sent them anyway. And then you have to send them back or pay for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that about all there is are auction catalogs. Now they are worth owning, I have shelves full of them. Some of the catalogs themselves are now worth hundreds of dollars. But I got them for free, because I bid on coins, bought coins, and sometimes even paid an annual subscription fee just to make sure I got the catalogs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Inside them you find beautiful color pictures of thousands of coins, along with a history of them, how many there are and in what grades. How common or rare they are, what they usually sell for. Basically all of the stuff that collectors always want to know. Coin catalogs are a wealth of information. And in this hobby, information and knowledge are king <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
