What I do know is that with most numismatic books they are printed only once, and in very limited numbers. In most cases 500 copies or less will be printed. I&#039;ve owned several where only 150 copies were printed. Those tend to be pretty expensive, even at their original issue price. But let a year or two pass from the issue date, and that price often quadruples, quintuples or more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many collectors, even a great many, think of coins as being good investments. They aren&#039;t of course, coins are terrible investments, among the worst even. But books on coins, it&#039;s pretty dang rare for anybody to do anything but make money, often a lot, with books on coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
